I've started the process of pruning my flist.

[panik]

Really, it's getting awfully crowded and there are a lot of people here who don't ever post or probably even read or with whom I no longer have much in common, or share much in the way of opinions and attitudes, or else I friended a long time ago but they never friended me back so... I'm guessing they want to leave as much as I need to reduce the size of m'flist but are much too nice and polite to say so.

Anyway, it's almost spring and it's time. I'm not pruning much, just a little...

If you've found yourself removed and care,, I'm more than happy to have you stay - just leave a comment and I'll re-friend you.

I'm just doing a litle spring cleaning, both in RL and LJ-life. It's nothing personal.

ETA: Remaining flist (*g*) - where do you stand on people who don't friend you back? There are quite a few on my flist. I've ditched some but there are others that are friends of friends, that I see regularly around the place - mostve been on my flist a good long while and haven't returned the compliment so, presumably, don't care to have me around...? I'm not sure I want to stay friended to someone who clearly doesn't want the same from me,  but I don't want to offend or seem like I'm flouncing...? Man... This is getting complicated. *g*

Some people I friend for 'community' reasons - I like them *g*. Other times they've friended me in the first place and they look basically sane and they do talk to me sometimes.

I have other people I friend on a 'reading list' basis. If they friend me back, cool. If they don't - no skin off my nose. I'll still keep reading them. Otoh, if I get bored or whatever, if they didn't friend me back, then I don't worry so much about defriending/removing from the reading list.

I kind of assume that I'm still on your flist. I'll avoid the insecure nonsense of wandering off to my user page to check...;-)

You are still here. (o:

I still have a massive flist - but I just had to cut it a bit because I couldn't keep up and it was getting insane! I've mostly cut some very vocal people I had nothing in common with anymore, and some big comms I've lost interest in. I just find my cursor hovering over those people that I sort of 'know' cause they're on my friend's LJs and I friended ages ago but have never friended me back and I think I'll feel better if I just - snip...
