My apologies. I guess the post I saw must have been made by another Dave

If anyone else wants to drop extra baggage, now's a good time, while

Well, there you go. No one else knew who was dropped from my Friends
list, and no one would have known that you were one of them until you
announced it. It was nothing personal, just that every time I checked
FB there would be numerous announcements and status updates. Don't
feel bad about it. It is not like you were one of the others whose all
too frequent updates were about their descent into depression.

Read it a little more carefully. My initial comment was :

"I don't put anything on there that I would be embarrassed for people to see, but I have unfriended a number of people who post too much stuff on it."

I didn't attach any names to it. Then Carol posted:

Carol, deleted"

And then she posted:
"I'm not sure I understand why you guys feel the need to announce to
the world that you're getting rid of extra baggage on Facebook. I
truly hadn't noticed that either of you were missing from my friend's
list until you mentioned something. Why go out of your ways to try to
hurt people? "

So, as you can see, I said that no one would have known that it was her if she had not announced it.

It was not meant to hurt her or anyone else. I referred only to people who IMO posted too much stuff on FaceBook. I don't need to know that much about my FB friends. I don't want to go to FB and find hourly updates by a small number of people just too much information for me and I would prefer to limit the amount of stuff I have to see there.
