Don't connect with musicians

Here is an article today from the Irish Independent article by Rhodri Marsden on Facebook & social networking.
I thought it had all been said before but no, apparently some of you out there are stressing & confused about the rules ?!! Yes, a “recent survey ” (unnamed of course) revealed that almost two thirds of people using social networking websites feel frustrated and confused by the unwritten etiquette.”
Well at least the crumbling economy in Ireland has been taken off our minds for a while ! We are given some ‘Friend Warnings’ …. as we are warned that “No group of people are as eager to seize the chance to relentlessly pester people as musicians.”
It goes on … “Anyone possessing a guitar will have three times the number of friends as anyone else, none of whom will have expected the torrent of useless information that’s now hurtling in their direction.”
The article is a summary of a dubious book by Debrett’s, the publisher offering advice on “international etiquette, manners, good taste, style and sophistication,” then leapt to our aid, issuing a number of rules on how to behave online. What a waste of time writing this book but the reviewing it does make for an interesting subject line !
