Last week I did something unintentional and vaguely horrid: I hit a button on a social media site (LinkedIn) and the damned thing has been emailing everyone I know and announcing that I want to “connect” with them. I swear I didn’t intend this– I’m not even sure how I did it, but Lo! I did it, and now I’m getting hundreds of emails from people, some of whom are cheerful, some bemused, some outright cranky. I don’t know how one does a “mea culpa” in cyberspace but this post is an attempt. I feel like one of those Amway guys– you know, the dude who used to be a friend but who now is hell bent on selling you industrial sized containers of silver polish. I’ve got a whole speech about the sadness of tarnished forks. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.
