I'd like to meet:

Please don't request friendship with me if you are any of the following:

    a band or other entertainer a business a vintage clothes shop an agency a film maker a person I don't know who has your account set on private—I'm not going to add you to my friends just so I can look at your private myspace page (although I'm sure it's incredibly special and interesting)...if there's some reason I should add you, explain it to me when you make the request.
There! That should eliminate about 99% of my friend requests.
