administrivia and much use of the phrase "and/or".

I've just done a small amount of tinkering with my friends list. Added a couple of people and removed a few more - on the basis that I use my friends list primarily as a way to filter who sees my private posts, I've taken off a few people who I feel I don't know very well and/or who never comment on my posts, so I suspect don't actually read them. If you are offended by this, and/or if you do enjoy reading my posts, just you never think of anything to write as a comment, let me know (email is fine) and I'll re-add you.

I am thinking about removing more people too - if you never or hardly ever comment on my posts, but you do read them, comment in reply to this one so I know you are still here and don't take you off the list :) People who are reasonably good friends of mine in real life don't need to bother - it's only online-only aquaintances I'm likely to remove.

I've also set up a "non-default view" friends group for when I have more time and/or are bored with my work and want more journals to read, but don't want to view the unfiltered list in its entirety, with the spammy communities and all.
