OK, OK. Yes, for those situations I do too. More often, I'll click YES then count to 10, then de-friend them.

On the other, hand, keeping my friends list full all the time (hard not to, really) prevents the friend boxes from appearing.

When someone starts asking me to befriend them, I'll crew them and ask them to wait while I find a slot. 1/2 hr later, if they are still sailing with me, I'll take another look at my friends list, looking for a name I haven't seen online in a few days.

O/T: Wouldn't it be sweet to have all sorts of "friend list management" tools? List them by "date last seen" or by notoriety or "total time we've been logged on at the same time on the same server" or "number of times we were in same crew" or "total time this person has been within one compass width of me."
