I can appreciate that,  and if only out of goodwill I should probably do just that.  In hindsight,  With the benefit of perspective,  this is less creepy than it would have been on skype or discord or something.

I’m hoping to go on a mouse hunting trip, later tonight , there’s a full moon shining, so that’s always a bonus in these situations.

Do I have to be solicited to ask to become a friend? 

I have two Chess/com friends currently, and we have pretty well zero contact. That is OK. I hate to turn people down and seldom reject a request., and after a few weeks I mostly cancel them. They never seem to notice they are gone.

Why even cancel ?
