Currently doing some friends list maintenance, mostly removing:
1. deleted journals
2. people who haven't posted in five million years, especially if we were not mutuals to begin with
3. a few that I don't really need to have friended both here and with
shyfoxling
4. some people whose usernames I don't recognize and who I can't really figure out who they are or why I would have friended them from reading their journals, and who often overlap with #2
Nothing personal. Well, nothing that's a big deal, anyway; I guess a bit personal in a couple of cases I've learned since whenever I originally friended them that I don't see eye to eye with, but I don't think it would be news to them. And if "enough time has elapsed since I last had any contact with this person that I no longer feel comfortable having them friended" is personal, then that too in some cases.
Also adding a couple of people that I don't know why I didn't have them friended and was surprised to see that was the case in the manage list.
