i take off about one person for every 40 or so i add, i think. it's so easy to elide right over things that i'm not in the mood to read right at that moment. i did create a filter to use to read a smaller list at work. i can also use it if someone goes on a quiz binge and isn't using cut tags or something that makes my page behave badly. if i notice that i'm always skipping a person's stuff then i take them off.
but the whole thing is madness. i've added tons of people who have no idea who i am to read fascinating conversations that they are having about books i've read or would like to read. but the thought of getting all bent out of shape because they don't turn around and add a stranger who added them for they have no idea why....could anything possibly be a bigger waste of time?
