Hi Glenn,

For a social networking app, I think you'd be right about that. What I 
have here is more of a CRM application. The user manages his own 
contacts and can record relationships between them for his own 
information, so reciprocation is not an issue, whereas it would be in a 
social networking app like friendster or facebook. In this app, the 
design spec indicates that if a user records that 100 and 300 are 
friends (or spouses, or co-workers, etc.), then the system should be 
able to find 100 connected to 300 and vice-verse.
