Couple of questions:

1) Is there a way to turn OFF friend requests, or to have them denied automatically. Call me antisocial if you like, but for me, this site is more about professional interaction, not so much social... I'm already plugged into social networks more than I really care to be. It's not that I don't like the people here, I'm sure most are fine people, I just don't care to have yet another network of people.

2) Privacy Settings... hmmm... I can set some of my blocks so that it shows for "Everyone" "Registered Users" "Contacts" "Friends" .. but there isn't a "No One" option... I've worked around it by sharing it with "My Friends"... since my friends list is empty, it has the same net effect.
