Hi guys, thanks for responding. I didn't want to have to create 2 entries in the database for a friendship because of the obvious integrity issues such as friendship deleting and friendship relationships to files etc.... seems like a lot of unnecessary duplication. I didn't see that symmetrical m2m before, thanks a lot for the link. I am going to refactor my code and schema armed with this information.
