*snip*

I'm going to be doing a bit of friends-list trimming over the next few days/weeks.

Nothing severe, just a few here and there - mostly people whose journals I find myself not reading more often than not. I don't believe in massive purges.

I don't trim people who don't post - I trim people who, when they do post don't seem to resonate at all with

Just as a quick rule of thumb: If we chat via means other than LJ, you're probably not getting cut.

If I comment in your journal (or vice versa) and it leads to conversation, you're probably not getting cut.

I'm cutting people with whom I don't communicate. Even basic communication is resonance of a sort.

I always love the drama that various people snipping various other people from their lists inevitably stirs up.

I tend to think of my F-list as a reading list or a subscription. Which is one reason I'm going to try to do more public posts - I want people who "subscribe" to my journal to be able to actually find something there worth subscribing to.

I'm actually mostly done with the cutting already. When I trim, it's rarely more than four people.
