scottobearHere's the thing.
Reasons for Scotto to trim his friend's list.
1. If the person posts stuff I think will get me in trouble at work. (Nudity, porn links without warning or such)
2. Excessive foul language (seeing f-this and f-that f-the other)
3. Nothing in common, or we never talk
4. My List is too big, and I had to trim somewhere.
5. General Mean-spiritedness
6. I Never see posts in the journal anymore
7. I see 10000 one-line posts in a journal, I'll generally remove them, because it hampers my ability to read the rest of the folks I link to.
I've gone past my limit of reading again, and broken my rule of 'add one, remove two' links. It hurts, because there are a lot of nice people out there, but I simply just cannot keep up with everybody. most of my trimming is due to reasons number 1-4.
My goal is never to hurt someones feelings, and even when I do trim my list, I'll probably go back every now and then to peek and catch up, when I get a chance to catch a breath. I hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings during this process.
That being said, I'm *still* trying to trim my list further down. I don't know what I'm a-gonna do about this.
