They're purging me. Lots of people who I never added in the first place (there are a lot of those).

nah. It's a good thing. Especially considering that I'd sort of forgotten that there were a lot of people actively reading (well, who have me added to their friends list anyway).
It's a good thing to remember, especially when I get into my tell all moods (which I've not been in for quite awhile, to tell the truth.)
