Well, I was thinking mostly of me, when I wrote that.
For some folks, I've been an excellent correspondent and keep in touch. With others, not as much. Rarely with intention, but mostly a death of a thousand "not now" cuts.
I imagine that if it were not for "electronic means", you and I would be out of touch as well. Not for any particular negative reason - just because my life is not fully under my control.
Heck, my college room mate, or my best friend in college and I no longer keep in touch.
The ability to keep in touch with others is a true feature of Facebook. But, I'm not willing to give them what they ask for to do it. When I look at what I, personally, seem to value, I think it is too easy for ME to overvalue those friendships in comparison to what Facebook would rip from me.
