I have a feeling my last post offended some people.  And even if it didn’t, I apologize anyway.  Re-reading it I realize I came across kind of harsh.  I didn’t mean it to be directed at any specific person or persons, but rather at “the system” under which we all choose to operate.  I don’t have a problem with people wanting to be my “friend”, and the fact that I may not initially be inclined to “accept” them as a “friend” is not meant to imply that I don’t like them or will never accept them as a “friend.”  Some people are perfectly comfortable letting anyone and everyone in, and I have a feeling that Facebook is very well suited for those people.  I’m more reserved and protective, and cautious of who I let in (that’s where the “snobbish stuck-up prick” label gets applied), and therefore do not feel immediately comfortable with the culture prevalent on Facebook.

Please do not be offended if I do not instantly accept your request for “friendship”.  It doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk to you.
