But I don't think it's the case with the people I run into most often because my comments are screened on their LJs because we're not mutually friended, so it's a constant reminder - every time I post they have to unscreen me so no, sadly, I don't think that's the case here.

Not that it's any sort of a problem other than for the fact that my friends-list has got very large because I never prune.

I friend people, people friend me, sometimes I return the compliment, sometimes I don't... For the most part, I've enjoyed having each and every one along for the ride. But as time has gone on, a lot of fandom friends have moved on to other fandoms I don't care about, I was on a lot of comms I no longer read, some people have just never participated and - I've GOT to cut somewhere; I'm just trying to do it as painlessly as I can. As I told luna, I just wanted to make this post first so that anyone who gets pruned and wants to stay knows it's nothing personal and they're welcome to stay if they wish.
