don't worry- you're not losing friends. we just changed the friends list back to the old way it worked, so you can now remove deleted users from your list and fix your friend count! what you're seeing today is all the past deletd profiles. users had been asking me to switch it back, so we put it back the old way. we are working on a process that automatically removes deleted users and fixes your friend count without you ever having to see / do anything.. hopefully that'll be finished soon!
I tried to use HITS to see these people. I forgot who they were...How do you find out to whom these deleted profiles belonged?
