I've started the process of pruning my flist.
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*

If I friend someone who doesn't friend me back and I enjoy reading their journal a lot, I'll keep them on the flist for some months. If I enjoy reading what they write, I tend to comment. If they don't friend back in a few months, I'll just remove them. It keeps the flist more manageable.
Sometimes when I run across a new poster in a community and see enough common interests plus I may like their comments, writing, etc., I'll comment to them that I'd like to add them. Usually they will return the friending. I put a brief piece on my Info page about how I friend. Not that people other than my flist ever look at that page!
Yea, I made the cut! :)
My problem is, I friend a lot - I have a lot of interests and I will friend at the drop of a hat but never prune. I need to prune. There are lots of people who probably don't need me around anymore - I've cut a lot of communities too. I just need a more manageable flist so I have time to comment again (cause I was doing an awful lot of skimming)
