No seriously... I do.... and only two are actually known... One was for the guard girls.... one is this one... one is private and the other is a secured Friends only LJ

I've noticed too that very few people seem to still be using Live Journal these days. My guess is that everyone's caught up in Twitter's insta-updates and thus no one wants to sit down and compose a proper long-form post. Sad.
Also, wow, you are quite a prolific writer! I had a handwritten journal for a long time before I started an online version, but between the two I've only managed about 900 written pages and 650 typed pages -- and this over the last 11 years! Nice work :-)
I do both, and I find that LJ's disappearing population didn't move to Twitter. There's very few people who ONLY tweet. My guess is that Facebook trying to provide so many different functionalities - blogging, microblogging, photos, videos, games - distracted people from blogging sites. Tragic.
I wonder if we should start a revitalize-LJ initiative by purging dead users and starting again with small, active communities. >:3
By the way, Sparks, I hope this means you read my latest post. :x
I can certainly sympathize with this to a certain extent. I basically never use facebook, except to occasionally look up photos on someone's friends page, and I do find it really weird and awkward that I'm friends with a bunch of people and that they can see things that go in there. My solution has basically been to just not really put anything on facebook because the other way (manually going through and organizing/deleting people) is too much effort

I still read the entries you post that I can see in this journal. Many other people I know still post here regularly: Greg, Alan V, Kempy, and about a dozen other people who you never met but who I'm still friends with post here.
Also, I would not be able to permanently delete ANY entries from a journal, since to me every entry carries means something to me. It is a record of my thoughts at the time, and I always want to keep that around. I don't like the thought of just losing information, since there is no cost to keeping it. I would like to collect all of my correspondences some day into one organized system. I would be able to do all sorts of cool linguistic analysis on it! I might even be able to do something like plot friendship graphs (how close I was to various friends over time).
That being said I do admire your ability and determination to classify information as useful or not useful because it's something I struggle with. I get very indecisive when I have to do a similar task. I'm also very indecisive about
