I guess I spasmed in the direction of getting friends when I first went on Facebook - which I did in the first place because that was where my daughter was posting grandkid pictures. I know that I have a few that I'm not entirely sure who they are---Mudcatters that I know by a different name, mostly.

If you get a friend request from a name you don't recognize, it is entirely normal to respond with "how do I know you? Are you a Mudcatter? If so, what is your MudName?". I have only 'unfriended' one person - a nice guy who I respect personally and as a musician but who was posting a lot of very far out political stuff that I really didn't want to look at.

I do get the occasional 'friend request' from lovely young ladies that I KNOW I have never met....
