It looks like the recent unpleasentness that Helly was experiencing has led to a mass blog clear-out of unwanted 'friends'. I've survived a couple of these so far - thank you Juzzy and Avrilo. I would have hated to have been removed by either of you, as you're a couple of my favourites.

I'll be doing my own cull later - only one or two to go, as I'm usually pretty sure about whose invitations I accept or who I invite, and I've never wanted more friends here than I can comfortably read. Everyone has their own level that they're comfortable with. Moondancer is one of those people who has hundreds on his friends list, yet he comments on my posts and I've seen him frequently commenting on others too.

I'm sorry that Helly100 has deleted her blog. Although she wasn't on my friend's list I liked reading her from time to time, and I loved that she possessed the body that ice cream built. 365daystolive has also deleted her blog (she was a recent friend on my list) and I don't know why, but I understand she's been here before as wifey (which caused me some confusion on Captain Autumn's blog) and deleted that one. I'm sorry to see her go as I liked the way she wrote and found her blog very interesting. Rhythm has deleted the content of his blog and not filled it with anything else, so he is being removed from my list as his user pic freaks me out a little.

It is a good idea to periodically go through blogs on the friends list and get rid of those we never read, or those who never post, or who we've found we're not interested in after all. I've just realised I've not deleted anyone before, so I'm not sure how to do it. Looks like I'm about to find out.
