Improved Friend Handling Page(s)

  Under the current version, friend handling is still a tedious chore.  If you want to manage your friend's list you need to open each "friend" in a separate window or tab and then select "Remove Friend" -- if you can.

  In a number of instances, I bring a "friend" up in a tab only to discover that there is no way to remove them, they are like ghosts.  But, the persist in showing up on my friends list.

  It would also be nice if there was a way to simply "checkbox" a number of people and remove them all at one time.  Having too many friends slows the game down and results in a cacophony of dings and beeps as they log in and out of the game. 

  Seems like an easy enough programming request.

  Refresh the profile page when you don't see the Remove Friend tab. You can also quiet their coming and going in the Options by turning that sound off.  :-)

  Refreshing does not give the "remove friend" option, nor does closing the tab/window and re-opening it.  It seems to happen more with people who have not been on WGT for a very long time, but it is still something that needs fixing.  In general, improved friend handling is still something I would like to see added.

  Also, turning off notifications is not a viable option.  If I do that, then I do not hear invites either.  I don't want to be rude and ignore the friends that I would like to keep ;)
