FRIENDS!
Someone just wrote as asked if I had de-friended him because I were mad at him.
In case someone out there is thinking the same thing, and did not write, let me explain.
I was doing routine maintenance on my friends page, trying to update my friends list (which I had not done in two or three years). I added some people from my friends list, but the livejournal application would not let me save my changes. So I went back in and de-friended some people at random, so see if I could get the list small enough to work. I was thinking I would add friends in segments. So far, the livejournal application has outsmarted me, and any corrections will be made slowly.
So, if I friended then de-friended or re-friended or un-re-de-friended you, nothing personal. Just a computer glitch: what we in the business call ‘Operator Error.’
