I'm a little surprised that you fellows are so naive ???
The friends request is a front for the government to get inside our inner circle. They are amassing dossiers on you as you type (I am not worried because I have tin foil wrapped around my computer to prevent the secret chip in my computer from transmitting any information to the spy satellites the government passes off as the GPS system.).
They send a "Friends" request to two people at a time. Both assume the other one innitiated it (Bill Gates is working for Dick Cheney) . The chip is activated and all your information is sent directly to your secret file. They know exactly how many knives you make, how long they are, how much money you have, and where you spend it. The current financial crisis is just a part of this control plot. They have manipulated the world's information to make the world appear to be going broke. All the while they are taking over more and more of the banks, mortgages, and big businesses. As soon as they have enough to control everything, dick Cheney will thaw out the body of JFK ( Everybody knows he is frozen in a vault under Yucca Flats) and they will take over the world.
It amazes me that people like you chaps can understand complex things , like edge packing and using ATF for the quenching of 1030 to make it a super steel , and still not know easy to see things like the truth about friends.
BTW, I have met sunshadow......he really does not have any friends.
