I think I inadvertently removed my friends from friends list because you are all suddenly gone! I think I thought I had to approve some of you and clicked on the remove icon! Sorry!!! I'm really not a snob lol! Friend me again if you'd like or I will try to add you again :-)

And why do we need a friend list on this forum? I don't understand what difference it makes to be a friend or not.

Doesn't necessarily make a difference however some people for whatever reasons click with different people and choose to converse with them more frequently and go to their friends list to reach them or privately speak with them. Some people have chosen to use this tool on here. If there is no purpose for it I would think it wouldn't be on the forum at all.

My post was directed at those who chose to use this feature and had requested me to their friends list. My feeling is that they somehow connected with me. Since my motivation in being here is to support and help and to receive the same, I wanted to make sure they still had access to me through this feature and that I had not removed them purposely.

I understand. I get alot of friend requests and I accept them, but I never do anything else with it so I was just wondering what I am missing out. I message with people whether they are "friends" or not so wasn't sure how people using the "friend" function.

Oh, and I go in about once a month and just accept friend requests so I also tell people to not take it personally if you don't hear back immediately!
