There is no point in adding someone and not even bothering to say even a simple hi on the person's wall or in private. If you're my friend I want to at least have some dialogue, even if it's a simple "Hey, what's up" and a reply of "Nothing much, you?" I actually removed a person I added and never really talked to him, so one day I sent a private message and never got a reply back. I deleted him from my friends list. We went to middle/junior high school together, then 20 years passed and I found him on FB, added him and it was like he was just an avatar on my friends list. I mean it wasn't like we had anything in common now, and since middle school we never talked or perhaps forgot about that the other existed. Why reconnect with people that really have no significance in your life?
Kerry, I don't mind food pics or even self pics...I meant that when I post a pic or a comment, I feel like I need valifdation. It's just me, I'm sure.

I am with you here. I have long lost cousins-or what not asking to befriend me..and when I agree..and they just sit there and marinate ie: 'Fail to respond to an IM'..I send them a short note/and explain politely why I am deleteing them.
I have noticed that some people have what I consider to be a 'fan-Club/Following', and it never ceases to amaze me how no matter what they post..no matter how silly it is- the fans clap like a bunch of trained seals.
The only thing I post is pictures of my over-sea's travels-so my family/freinds can keep track of my movements/know that I am still alive and well/observe some locations on earth that they have only seen in Nat Geo mags.
