Thanks for the response Sandi.
Just for the record, the part about friendship was an analogy to try to portray the feeling(s) some of these marketing approaches bring up in the marketEE -- not a comment directly about friendship.
As for the friendship offer, if we 'know' each other enough to make such an overture, sure (assuming I like the other person at that point and haven't heard any off-putting news about them). If there is no such background, it would put me on alert as to 'what do they really want from me' kind of alert. I enjoy having good friends but I detest those who profer friendship for what they think they can get out of you.
