¿Question #3023?
mandj2001: Does the 6 degrees of separation principal apply to BGGeeks via GeekBuddy lists?

Woelf: Sure, why not?
Felimid: I thought it only applied to protractors, sextants, and thermometers.
taurus: My guess is it does.
cturnitsa: prolly
Wabete: I hope not. WIll someone please add me?
chefguru: why? is there a reason to connect yourself to someone else on here?
Polgara: i don't know
Randy Cox: Check it out and see, but I bet it's fewer than six degrees.
Boot2daHead: yes
Neil Thomson: Heck we don't need 6 degrees
MisterCranky: No, it doesn't. Okay, it does, I lied.
jtrleone: what?
DHEK: Not necessarily, because GeekBuddy lists depend on whether people add others to the list. Some may know others but not add them to their list.
Makino: Definitely. Geeks are small community. More like 2 or 3 degrees of separation.
jeffwolfe: I once tried it, and was successfully able to link myself to several people who had recently posted to the Geek.
Majiken: I need 7 degrees.
aleo09: it applies to all
Geosmores: yes
unixrevolution: Why wouldn't it?
Redbeardin84: Green
tagger418: All too easily. Try 3 degrees
W Eric Martin: Probably not as some don't use the lists at all.
eddyspaghetti: I would guess so.
vampywife: i suppose it could, if not buddy lists, then perhaps we should include all the services on the Geek.
jasta6: Good question, but I have no buddies....................................
POvidiusNaso: It's probably down to 3.
KDSN: no
the_spy: I would say so
brainrob: who cares?
bigbadsteve: its entirely possible
Quest22: No
Desmondloki: yes
Loquutus: Probably
ZombyDawg: I'm still working on my 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon (anyone can help - I was in Mr. Holland's Opus).
javelin98: No
skrutsch: possibly
GrandpaDave: I doubt it...I think you have to actually have come in physical contact with the,
scriptorum: That sounds like a job for Aldie and some crazy SQL.
Legend Dan: No.
Belash: no
Akke: no
sourwyrm: i doubt it
saulsehy: absolutely
Karlsen: Not as well
arkibet: Yes. Because it really does work.
ValJor: It's "principle" you fool!
Nomadik: perhaps
Mike A: Except for those poor buddy-less souls.
Lord_Prussian: I'm sure it probably does
Ludocrazy: Probably
The Unbeliever: 42
djlg: I don't think it would take as many as 6.
skelebone: Probably many fewer degrees here, though there are some people that have listed no one, and are not listed themselves.
jttm: Sure
heli: that principle probably doesn't apply here (yet)
chaddyboy_2000: Huh?
Tim Synge: I read somewhere that the original principle was flawed, as the research was done among a specific social group that had greater geographical mobility than average. But in any case, I'm not sure of the answer to your question.
snoozefest: probably
CDRodeffer: It's probably more like 3 on the BGG.
Spielfreak: maybe
CortexBomb: Oh, undoubtedly...it's probably shorter here
