What happened to the rest of you?

Recently I got awarded one of those badge things, from this site, apparently I am a "socialite". (!!??)

I went to have a look at what that means and discovered the following factoid.

I am one of only Eight of such people on this site, out of a total membership of nearly 80,000 souls.

Now apart from meaning that I'm a flipping outlier again, (even here!) AND "anti-socialite" would be a more apt description, it got me wondering.

Only one in 10,000 of us has as many "Friends" here as me and the other members of the socialite group...  

And when I do read the wider site, most people seem to post just once or twice and then fail to continue except for a small cadre of regular posters.

Since getting "socialite"is it seems a bit of a statistically "standout" thing, I'd like to thank everyone on my friends list who by either asking for or accepting my request, made it possible. 

If any of you who have added me, now regret it (and that's very possible) prompt action now,  in removing me from your friends lists would:

A. be much appreciated, &

B. I'm curious to see if one can LOSE an "award" here...

I'm also curious to know if I am right to deduce that this site meets the needs of a small few of us, but is pretty irrelevant to the majority of it's members?

    I once had a dream happening in an universe, where humans encountered other races, and together created a civillization spanning millions of planets. 

    You would think a paradise future, alas no, far from it. Distrust and enmity never left universe, it went into hiding, So it became obvious that there was a need for a Special Police Department, Exogenetic Bureau.

    I was Commander of one of it's units, leading a stealth attack on smuggler's den, only to realise in the end, I wasn't a human, I was a hybrid, a chimera, all member of my unit were mixes as well.

    Is it our future?

    Well, no - I very much doubt it.  That said, your dream is a far most creative, interesting and uplifting vision of the future compared to what my nihilistic tendencies envisage.  I hope I dream of your SPDEB and derring-do as I now head to bed. Sleep tight mate.
