I recently opened a new fb account simply because an organization I wanted information on was on there and with my account having been deleted I couldn't see everything :/ I have gotten a multitude of stupid suggestions for friends on there and have ignored every single one of them. In my email I simply delete it. I have no tolerance for the spam. I figure if I wanted to be friends with you in the first place, I wouldn't need fb to point that out to me and there are really no friends from my distant past that I need to be in touch with. I mean anyone looking for a long lost friend will be pretty proactive about it. having "known" the person at one point in my life is meaningless.

I would friend no one that you haven't got a connection with in the first place. FB is overrated for "connecting people" it's bs.
