Thanks, and interesting. I hadn't thought of that. I suppose the fact that I didn't even know I could do that--and that it's actually quite easy, functionally, as you say--also suggests some marketing issues? I just felt it was weird that I've been hearing so much hullabaloo about the facebook quandary of business contacts learning too much about your personal life and vice versa due to blanket "friending," but yet, it took only 2 seconds for my friend to shut me up, saying, "I don't have that problem, here's why."
