Somebody, "plasticbagUK", is now showing up in my friends timeline, but is not my friend and I never chose to follow him.

He is not here: http://twitter.com/dblume/friends
But he is here: http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_t... (user dblume)

How do I get rid of him? Follow him first? Should I go to his page and select "follow" then wait a second, and then (un)select "following" when it becomes available?

Please Stop The Twitter Bots! Every day I'm inundated with requests from people to befriend me, only to find out that they have over 3-4,000 people they are following already--obviously they are bots or spammers trying to get a following. The easy solution is to simply give me their details when you send the email to me--instead of just saying "Blah Blah wants to be your friend," give me that persons details right in the email such as how many people they follow, how many friends they have, their profile, etc. Please don't make me have to go all the way to the Twitter site just to find out this is a bot request.

the twitter users home page has a Stats and People tab, but has *no* item saying "add friend". Now since really quite a few twitters' blogs or other pages request to add some bot page or other as "friend" it would make things clearer and save a lot of time for noobs if (a) there was a button on the standard home page saying "add friend" (b) there was a FAQ item like "Adding a friend". To clarify, here is the question: who is a friend: a 'follower', a 'followed' or both? If you don't know what follower or followed means you are reduced to guesswork.
