To add or not to add that is the question ...

I've been getting an absurd amount of friend requests lately on Facebook. (Definition absurd amount: being more than ten in a day.) Facebook caps off your friends at 5,000- which is genius considering unsolicited friend requests were a huge part of Myspace's demise. Who can keep tabs on 5,000 friends anyway!
I want to balance being open to meeting new, cool people to the tragic reality that the ratio of douche to cool people is 100:1. For the longest time I've held out on adding people I didn't know, even deleting people I do know for the sake that we don't talk on Facebook. It's like russian roulette; am I going to REALLY like this person enough to read every status update given the risk of it potentially impeding my knowledge of the people that I actually do care about?
I can't even begin to tell you how many of my actual "IRL" friendships have been hurt by someone saying, "didn't you see the status update?! Hello, I posted it on Facebook!"
My prior limit was no more than 400 and even putting a limit to people I add from high school (because frankly, the people I want to talk to from high school - I still talk to. If that's not you, there might be a reason). I am now over 500, with a handful of randoms sprinkled in.
You better be good you new found friends. I'm warning you ...
