Safe gaurds when filling out Facebook registration

FB has controls so you can friend people and still not see any of their posts. You can also set up groups so that only some of your "friends" can see what you post.

That said, it's too much bother in my opinion. I friend who I want and refuse who I wish. Life's too short for playing all those interpersonal games. Anyone doesn't like it can avoid me as much as they like. I have no use for people who try to control or prescribe my relationships with someone else.
