I Have A New Disclaimer Thingy-Ma-Bob

My Blog, Opera, Update, Friends
I'm starting to feel really badly about having so many people with requests to be my friend. I've added a few people here and there, so now I'm down to 705 requests, but that's still a lot of people who have requested me and I've basically just been ignoring them. I don't know what the heck else to do since there's no way in Hell I'm about to sit here and send out 705 private messages.
Hopefully with the new disclaimer, people will read my little paragraph on my About page & contact me to let me know they've requested me. That way I won't feel guilty anymore...nor will I look snobby for not acknowledging them. 
Here is said disclaimer:

Okay, now it's time for me to go hit the sheets. G'nighty night, everyone.

Either way, if they suddenly add me out of the blue, I wait and see if they're at least going to make a comment or two - join in, y'know?
If - after a couple of weeks - they haven't, then I assume they haven't even bothered to read my Sticky Post, let alone the others, and that they're just adding me for the sake of 'increasing their numbers', or something.
Point is, you shouldn't feel guilty. If they haven't contributed to your blog (via comments, chat box, etc), then they're not making the effort to be friends; they're more than likely simply trying to 'pump up their stats' ("Look at me, I have 8,356 friends on My.Opera - I've never spoken to any of 'em, but, by God, they're on my Friend List. I'm important!")
Thing is, if they did contribute, they'd see what makes Opera one of the friendliest communities on the Web.
But they don't, so it's their loss.

I know that I'm all the way over here, but if there is ANYTHING I can do, don't hesitate to let me know. Even if it's just being here for you to vent to or something.

The standard reply on "The Clique" page that Tamil linked is very good indeed.
I also wanted to add a post about adding friends, but it really doesn't seem to help much, since people don't read these

Sadly, it's true that not many people take the time to really read a blog post or profile page, but I will say that I have noticed an increase of people messaging me prior to putting in a request. So even if it's only getting through to 30% of the people, that's still a decent amount.
