Explanation of Contacts & Friends

[Raederle]

Excellent explanation, with seemingly every permutation covered.

But what happens when one of my contacts and one of my friends begin a relationship? What if they start befriending others without my being aware of it? What if I suddenly see baby LHCers populating my friends list? Who bears the responsibility for birth control?

Thanks for the detailed explanation! But I still have a silly, nitpicky little question What if you and another person mutually add each other as a Contact, but neither of you sends a friend request? Do you become Friends? The only difference I see between Contacts and Friends is mutuality, which is why I ask.

Um, I have a question.

If you set your blog to private/contacts only, can your friends see it? Or do you have to add everyone to your contacts list?

If someone is your friend, she is also your contact. They aren't really separate things. (But if someone is your contact, she isn't necessarily your friend.)
