Gee, I didn't mean what I wrote in such a directly personal way, I
don't even know Peter Lucas... my post was directed towards *anyone*
who speaks of everyone they ever met, however how briefly, as their
*friend*.. just because someone ain't an enemy doesn't automatically
elevate them to friend, let alone closest friend... my closest friends
all know each other equally intimately as I know them and they know
me, otherwise they can't fit the description of my closest friends...
can't possibly be all that close when who you associate with and to
what degree is a secret... closEST friends have no secrets, none...
because the obverse is lying to each other by sin of omission and
closest friends never lie to each other or they are no kind of friends
at all.
