Facebook Friend Removal????

While perusing through the 'People You May Know Application' on Facebook the other day, I noticed a bunch of people popping up that I used to be friends with, which obviously means that they axed me from their friends list at some point. So I ask you, Facebook Community, is it common practice to 'tidy up' your friends list from time to time and remove people that you have lost touch with over the years? I only ask because I've had Facebook since 2004 and don't remember ever removing even one person. I mean, I've been removed by a few jilted ex-lovers, but it honestly stings a little bit more to get removed by an acquaintance, like "Hey man, I know that the lifespan of our friendship was that 3 month period during the fall of 2006 when we were partners in Psych Lab and that we have never spoken since, but still..."

Sincerely,
Confused (and a little hurt)
