Speaking as the one who started the "Accounting for friends" thread, it was in no way intended to give anyone the impression that furs are isolated or favor members of our own community over others. It was simply in recognition of the fact that we have members from all over the country and the world, including New York and Washington, who are friends with one another that may have been concerned about each other's well being. Yes, we all have families, friends, and co-workers outside the community, who for many if not all of us are more important than our fellow furs, whom we are hopefully in touch with by other means . Nevertheless, we are also friends of each other in the furry community, and to that purpose flayrah was considered a way to let each other know how we're doing.
