Random urge for friends-list cleanup. Nothing personal, anyone.

I used to wonder how people were so immediately aware that other people had unfriended them. Very occasionally (once a month tops) I would check my friend-of list to see if anyone new that I didn't know had found me, not to find out whether people had unfriended me (I figure everyone has their reasons, most likely having to do with whether they find me boring or interesting, so it's no big deal). But until a few months ago I hadn't used the Semagic client, despite the fact that the Visions client hadn't been updated in years. And of course Semagic can give you all the gritty details of who has friended or unfriended you, enabling much drama to take place.

Well see, I actually, you know, read you. Mostly the ones I unfriended were people I had found a while back in random searches or seen in communities and friended, but whose journals were mostly friends-only and who hadn't friended me back, so all I was seeing was their smattering of public posts and nothing with any more substance to it. A few were ones where I have only been skimming, or duplicate journals of the same person where I think of one as the "main" and the others as jsut auxiliaries.
