Trust-Worth-Y-List

By: Veekey | Posted May 20, 2008 | General | 972 Views

I have tried cleaning and purging and cutting and slashing and many other figurative things with the Friends' list and the alerts. Checked and double checked, every two months at the number of people reading, responding, commenting on things I write of and words that I float around this place.  I just finished a year on MS and was delighted to see the Friends' list grow to a 100 plus. It looks like a long time ago when I used to despair that I had no one reading me.


However, I have overreached myself, it seems. There are an abundance of people on the friends' list right now. And once the shocking euphoria of having so many people subsided, I realized that I can’t take it. The reasons are simple and few.


1. I want to have a sense of who is reading the review/diary and who is not. I don't mind if a lot of people who are reading it don't comment all the time. But there are many who have been completely silent. And I don't see any reason as to why they should be cluttering up.


2. As more and more random people and people I start knowing in real life also start reading me, it becomes imperative that I start various filters. A lot of my personal posts from now might be Friends only, in which case I wanna know if you care enough.


3. I too don't have enough time to read through everybody's posts, which means that I am already doing a certain selection of people I want to read. However, I want to know who is reading me so that I don't cut out anybody and vice versa. Please do let me know any which you feel that I should not read you. I don't wanna hurt anybody, I just wanna make life a little simpler.


So that's about it. Please comment to this post. Say aye, say no, say anything. If you want to be removed from my friends' list but haven't figured out a way of telling me about it, just lemme know now! No hard feelings either way.


I am aware that a lot of the people on the list do not read MS everyday...so I am going to keep an eye on this post for a week or two and after that the people who haven't said a word will just be dropped (unless I reaaalllly love them and have my own personal reasons for it)


Thanks all, who have survived my cuts...Thanks all, who have sustained interest in my completely insane set of ramblings...
