Seriously, that is just lame. "Hi, I am Joe Blow and want to link as a friend..". OK, I get it, but guess what? I am going to go to your page before I do anything else. Then I am going to leave you a comment and rate your profile. Then I am going to look at your pics, leave them a comment, and rate them. Then I am going to accept your request. See what happens first? I leave you a profile comment. And guess what? If I can't leave you a profile comment then I don't do anything else. If we can't converse/communicate/talk, then how the hell can we be friends? This is just lame. Please think about the entire process before breaking it. It is known as "cause and effect". I'll give you an example: you are a dumbass that blocks comments; this is the cause of me being pissed at you; the effect is I don't accept your request". Get it? No?! Let me give you another example. You have a fan without a cover; you insert your penis into the moving blade....
