Greg, I guess it may be like you say, tied into a friend you accepted, who has a zillion friends. I am a light FB user. I get maybe one serious friend request every couple months and maybe a couple randomish requests every month or so. some people collect "friends" like trading cards with thousands. I only friend people with like interests, like obvious Pontiac people, or obvious from music pages I frequent. Once in a while I get friend requests from scantily dressed young women that make me feel old.... NO, I don't accept them
