When you talk about the potential for praying on a vulnerable subset of the population through this technology, don`t forget that it happens anyway, with or without tech aid. To be honest, I think people are less likely to be prayed upon because the inherent lack of trust in technology would increase the lack of trust placed in an individual contacted through it. If that makes sense. And in response to the idea that the chase IS the fun. Don`t forget that people take a much more transaction oriented approach to relationships these days. There are less social pressures to form *and* maintain bonds with a parnter. Besides why is the 'chase' fun, should the pleasure not be had in an exchange of minds, ideas and potentially fluids?
