I know others don't use it the same way.
For me it's a mix of actual friends and people who post things that I want to read whether we are friends or not. Either way, there's something there that I want to read in spite of the other, annoying stuff. And I feel it's intrusive and rude to ask people to filter me out of topics, which is the other option when people post a lot on a topic you don't want to read--both because there is a limited number of filters you can have, and also because it would mean that they couldn't post on that topic publicly. I mean, if somebody says that they have a sex filter, and a religion filter, and a politics filter, and which ones would I like to be on, I will answer them honestly. But if someone else wants to make long public posts about their squicky-to-me sex practises or X political cause with which I vehemently disagree, they have the right to do that. And I have the obligation (in my opinion) not to read it and create unnecessary drahma. Collapsovision or tag filtering would just make this easier. **************************************************************** Azalais Aranxta (~malfoy) ataniell93 on LiveJournal and Vox http://groups.yahoo.com/group/malfoymadness "I know the true world, and you know I do.
