Nobody has a hundred friends, so the word, friend, is being

I disagree. I was surprised to find just how many work, family,
school, church, complexity, .. friends I *do* have.
I just started facebook a few days ago, and I'm finding a huge number
of non-stranger, non-virtual acquaintances I have. I'm trying to keep
the list "quality" high .. i.e. only include folks who I really do
know and enjoy being in touch with.
I'll easily top 200. So would anyone I think who's got diverse
contexts mentioned above. No strangers. And not including everyone I
do know just to keep the list tight.
