For what it's worth... we are deeply suspicious of the Myspace phenomenon (& social networking sites in general) and lament that the word 'friend' has been so devalued. So don't even bother trying to add us as a friend... we will politely decline. It's nothing personal, we decline friend requests from absolutely everyone. As for Facebook, everyone on there would be better off putting their actual face in an actual book. If this offends your sensibilities, it's probably best if you switch off the computer, go for a walk and try to work out the crucial difference between 'making friends' and 'adding' them.
