How many friends?

very few.....

I generally approve them as they come in. Some days, I don't get any requests, and other days, I get one or two requests. I generally approve friends that have a history here and whom I have either answered a discussion for or they've answered a discussion of mine. I don't like approving just anyone because some people have ulterior motives. I also delete friends who are not active or start discussions that I am not interested in or they don't answer any of my discussions.
