i did that once:smug:
i only have bit less than 500 and that's a pretty big task...i can't imagine people with like 1500

you don't need to unfriend people.. you can just unsubscribe.
i'm honestly only subscribed to my family, close friends and of course, RS people :)

that way, whenever i feel an inkling, i can satisfy my stalking urge with a simple search.
it prevents me from hiding outside in the bushes of peoples' houses and peering inside their windows with binoculars, maybe getting arrested :accepted:

..just kidding. but not really.
