Lobby Guidelines
You've made it through the revolving doors and now you can mingle and mill about. If you feel like spamming, please head down the hall to the right to the RecRoom. But, if you'd like to meet people, chat about nothing in particular, you know...have polite conversation that doesn't seem to fit easily into any of the other rooms, this is the place!
The Lobby is not for serious debates, there are other areas for those types of conversations. It is more for relaxed chatting or discussing things that don't fit elsewhere. Politics, religion and philosophy have their own place on the site
But remember, always play by the rules: here

I just realized that I don't mind talking on the phone if someone else calls me, I just hate to make phone calls.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

I'm beyond odd about this, and well into eccentric. My only phone is a MagicJack, which forwards directly to the only number I release: a Google Voice account, which sends me voicemail transcripts via email. I'm hugely busy on assorted projects, all the time. People need my permission to interrupt me, and I don't grant that permission casually.
On those rare occasions when I allow others to interrupt those projects, friends and family can reach me via instant messenger or Skype. If I'm not showing up as active, I'm not available, and that's the end of it. I've had girlfriends who couldn't handle that. I assume they had better luck with their next boyfriends.
I use face-to-face on the rare occasions when I have to discuss confidential issues, but email otherwise, mostly because of that "written record" thing. That comes in very handy with students, who can otherwise be counted on to "misremember" to their advantage damn near every time. Bosses, too, occasionally.
On the other hand, I'm obsessive about clearing my email box before going to bed, or at worst when I get up in the morning. I never miss a date with my current girlfriend, so long as it's something that can be arranged at least a day in advance.
Unlike most of my pals here on TWeb, I don't expect to survive my death. My life is arranged to get the things I want to do done before I kick the bucket.
YMMV.

I find that evolution is the best proof of God.
