On my Facebook page (which I rarely access; less than once every 2 weeks) I have zero friends, by my policy. I first heard about 'friending' on FB nearly 10 years ago. I felt then, and I continue to feel, that this is far too 'binary' for me: If I started classifying people as 'friends', I'd have to decide where to draw the line. And that, I didn't want to do. Therefore, any requests to 'friend' me, I do not activate, and I explain to the people involved why I won't. Everybody seems to understand, and I've been told many people have a similar opinion of that.

Jim, why is it that you aren't my FB-friend already? My friends would
just love/hate you.
