Migrants to IJ, 2007

I think it has a lot to do with the loaded term "friend" actually. It implies many overlapping interests. If someone you didn't know friended you and you looked at their journal and were horrified by what you saw there wouldn't you be upset to have them listed on your profile next to the term "friend" (even just in a "friend of" listing)?

I know I'd rather they used "friend" for the mutual friends and "watching" or "reading" and "watched by" or "read by" for the one way connections.
