   Hey $$$$$$$$$,

    > pathetic. *sighs*   
      
   I see the opposite problem: everyone is talking--just to themselves. They post   
   updates that they find interesting about themselves, not directed to other   
   people. I.e., "I hate Mondays!", "Off to the races!", "I just won 500 piggies   
   in farm land", etc..   
      
   In the end I look at "my wall" and I see 100 threads from 100 people,   
   essentially shouting to themselves and no one else. None of the posts are   
   actually directed towards me, or I find interesting.   
      
   In short, it's just all fucking spam . The only difference is that I've   
   whitelisted (accepted friends) them all, so they're good to keep filling up my   
   wall with baby pictures, relationship woes, music videos, and other bullshit   
   that I have absolutely zero interest in.   
      
   Regards,
