Fair enough. But I didn't get to voice my objections on that one <G>.

I don't really see Drupal as social software of *any* kind though. I see 
it as a *content* management system. Forums and comments and profiles are 
add-ons, not the core features. My impression, at least. If it were really 
social software, than it'd have a bunch of social/community things enabled 
by default. And I don't consider a commenting system "social" software.

You know what? If there was a *default* profile build, and it was 
automatically enabled, *then* I'd begin to start considering it related to 
  social software. But, outta the box, it's doesn't scream much of 
anything besides *content*, content, content.
