You have a good point and it was more to say I don't really use it anymore, so maybe bad example but;

> If they mean something to you, pick up a phone and call them

that is nonsense imho; calling is also nothing (I also don't see the difference between calling and chatting) (ah, I mean so much to you, you couldn't be bothered to get off your couch). If they mean something you meet them; people important to me I fly out to go to their birthdays, weddings, divorces and funerals.

But yes you have do have a good point in general which I agree with.

I agree with you, and probably chose the wrong example/wording to get my point across. My point was just that you'd put more effort in for people you care about.
