Things I just don't grok --

How can two people share a screen name and/or e-mail address, without having one of their own?

I just don't get it.

I just do not.

That would drive me nuts if I had to share an Email account with someone. It's bad enough that I lord over my computer. Sharing Email would cause me to go homocidal on a stuffed animal.

Yeah.

My high school best friend shares his IM and e-mail with his wife, evidently, and my current best friend shares his parents' e-mail address.

I mean, even my mother has her own e-mail address!

So does mine. But since I was using multiple Email accounts after a while...my parents and I now have separate Email billing plans. XD I have a personal Email, a business Email, a company Email, an RP Email.... The list goes on and on and on.

I, too, have trouble grokking this strange phenomenon...

The married couple, I could dismiss as not human/having no soul.

But the other one is my best friend. And, while he's from the planet Weird, he does too have a soul.

They don't have separate phone lines, do they?

This, I expect, is the logic involved. It's not something I would ever do.

Sharing a computer will be an exercise in careful negotiation, I expect, but sharing email addresses is just silly. (Especially since both I and my charming wife have our own separate /domain names/, let alone simple /email addresses/.)

They have no sense of self.....or rather no sense of digital self.

Evidently. Or are good at sharing personal space, if they do.
