It's weird - you wonder for years what became of so-and-so, find them on facebook, are thrilled to reestablish contact, chat for ten minutes, and then completely ignore them after that unless you're wishing them a happy birthday.
Am I the only one who does this?

Yep.
After the first few times reconnecting with a HS friend, exchanging one or two messages, then never seeing them on FB again or ever see them respond to anything, I kind of gave up on that part of it. There are also the people who didn't say two words to me in high school, but want to be FB friends... uh, no.

Yeah, people create a lot of their own drama, usually because they aren't aware of all the security features. You control exactly who you want to see, mostly what you want to see, and you control exactly what others can see.
If you don't want to unfriend someone, hide them in your news feed. If you need to be someone's friend or need to have family on there but don't want to share the same stuff with them than others, set up security groups so only certain people see certain posts.
There are annoyances, like those who just copy/paste stuff, but they usually get hidden or unfriended. I don't see the drama with it, but whatever... I've unfriended several people and I've had the feeling of 'wtf did they unfriend me?', but I get over it.
