Did you read the claims? Claim 13?

"A computer system that provides a service to users over a network, [...] providing a user interface for users to establish contact relationships with other users of the service such that each user can have one or more contacts, said user interface enabling a user to identify other users of the service, and to selectively initiate generation of requests to establish contact relationships with the identified users"

You can make any claim look arbitrarily broad by omitting language from it. You cut limitations out of the middle with your "[...]", and you also cut stuff off the end without even mentioning that you had done so.

Might as well have said: did you read claim 13? "A computer system . . . ." OMG THEY CLAIMED A COMPUTER SYSTEM.

Um, not really. Please explain how the parts removed change anything? They listed off a bunch of capabilities of the system computer system, I quoted one of those capabilities.
