Why do I keep those social accounts open?

That's a question I began to touch on, but this is the more involved answer.

1) Sometimes I do make a contact resulting in a new friend.
2) It can be very entertaining, if not especially bright.
3) The collecting of the emails here provides a reminder to count my blessings.
4) Exposing the scammers seems like the right thing to do.
5) ... and finally, keeping those accounts open allows me to compare how different sites work, and who targets them. The number of scam mails wa-a-a-a-ay outdoes the nice guys, but I won't toss out a little baby just beacuse of too much bathwater.
