    No... though I have a broad definition of "stranger".

    If I've read enough sensible answers from someone and/or heard others talk about them positively, I'd gladly add someone even if I hadn't had first-hand exchanges. The way I see it, I would eventually become their friend anyway... why not pledge that mutual interest and proceed along? :)

    • Oh, I agree. Nice answer, Todd and thanks.
      Although it's probably not so obvious, my question's about brand-new users you've never seen or heard of before they try and add you to their list. I'm a little paranoid after several thinly-disguised "threats" and a bunch of DR's from another long-term user. The Dark Side of the Force shows up on AB every once in a while, LOL.

    • :) As a relative n00b myself (7 days old) it's hard for me to say who a stranger is (other than me, of course). I can't be too well known by now, so I'm thankful that I have a good stable of friends on my list. Still... I've tried to read a lot to familiar myself with the place & users. So, if I haven't heard of someone because they've written and interacted little (due to brand-newness, or just minimal activity since joining), I would decline requests.
