In this particular case, reguardless of the Friendster TOS (which I
don't believe supported the action), it is (if I'm not mistaken) the
list maintainer's call concerning whether it was appropriate or not and
what action (if any) is needed.
My personal opinion is that the list is designed to "bring people
together" and its membership is, I'm sure, aware that there are other
ways of communications which are often handled on a case by case basis
off-list (or perhaps the off-topic list depending on it's charter?).
