Linkers. Not Friends. that's what I keep telling myself.

so why is it so hard for me to trim my list? I'm too dang nosey. I want to know what's going on in everyone's lives.

I want to get down to 50. I don't see it happening. In fact if I'm not careful, I'm going to add everyone back.

I view some of the folks who link to me, and I link to as actual friends. Others, kindly acquaintances. still others as neato columnists in the life they lead (or don't.)

Some of you folks are amazing writers..some have a great amount of heart... some impress me with the amount of truth I see in your writing, and others in the outrageously bad lies that I see propagated... to the point where the fish stories are as entertaining as life itself. "Through a glass darkly" I suppose.

So, what do I do? go with it as best I can, stick my nose in where it sometimes will stick. I hope nobody gets offended if I add/remove them.. filter usage just isn't cutting it for me. I'm also trimming off anyone I haven't seen post in a month... no point in keeping dead links alive, although. holy moly... see what I've missed? I didn't know mootpoint posted. I love his stuff. nashata is long gone... as is cider. see... that's what I mean. I want read more than I can....

Yep yep - exactly. I have my "categories" - people I am personally invested in (friends in the real sense of the word), people I enjoy reading because they post stuff that's fun (fun folks), people I enjoy reading because they're interesting, people who added me and I added them back. The last group are the ones I pretty much took off my list, #2 and #3 (fun and interesting) are often interchangeable, and the first group are my "must-read journals".
