When approving "friend" requests.

I do take a rather long time to approve new "friend" requests, for this I apologise. I am not trying to appear rude or ignore anyone rather I am attempting to keep requests orderly. Also I like to have a chance to check out the requestor's own site to make sure that they are indeed "real" and not a guise for distributing hate, marketing schemes, political rancor, or other such spam. This also is to make sure that no one of questionable character or criminal behaviour gets approved. Approval of requests are by no means an endorsement of the views or opinions expressed by others.  Other than that, I usually do approve requests and more than welcome them.
