except the fact people are forgetting here is
>HURR IF I DONT KNOW THEM THEY ARE AS GOOD AS A PUBBIE
except, to someone, or often times, several people- it is not, in fact, a pubbie. It is someone's friend. Just not *yours*. people aren't interested in speaking to random people, they want to speak to friends. and that includes vrg friends that are part of the vrg "group", and non vrg friends.

 of course if you simply refuse to have any non /vrg/, non thread vetted (tm) friends, then sure, you'll never experience that issue yourself.

but I'm willing to bet that even the people who complain about random people have at least one or two people friended that are not thread originating or 4chan at all, but they're ok because you don't know the difference anyway, one way or another. in other words "it's ok because they are my friend so i approve of them"
