Somebody posted about it... why, I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if she was talking about me specifically or just random people when she said "inane". *le sigh* Here's the thing. I *know* I post a lot. I'm not going to edit my posts to add unrelated content. If I'm talking about comments in one post, I won't edit it to talk about politics. I don't do that. So instead, I post a lot.
Disclaimer. This actually isn't related very much to the earlier paragraph. Now I'm speaking generally, instead of specifically.
And, because I know this is a problem, I put a nice nifty disclaimer in my user info. It says, I believe, that I post a lot, and that you shouldn't friend me if this is a problem. So it's okay to defriend me because I post a lot, and it's okay to not friend me because I post a lot. Please don't defriend me and say "well, I wouldn't've friended you if I'd known you post a lot!". That's just silly. I give fair warning. And all my posts, almost, are public. You can visit my journal and see the insane number of posts here. No excuses if you don't know before you friend me that I post. A lot.
On the subject, if you actually think I post too much, and can think of a way to condense my posts, I'm willing to hear it. So long as it doesn't involve mixing unrelated stuff together.
Edit: I did a bad thing here myself. I started talking about a specific person, and then spoke generally. This is really a bad thing, because I don't make a disclaimer so you know when I'm miffed at one person and when I'm discussing a trend. I'll go fix.
Edit again: Sheesh, if I were setting out to comment-whore, I could scarcely have picked a better topic than this! I love me my comments, so this is all good.
Edit the third: The person I was speaking about in the first paragraph (but not the second) seems to have removed more than one person from her list. We all do list cleaning from time to time. I only posted because she mentioned that some people were removed for posting too much "even if she loves them" and that one of those people... well, she goes on. But I'm actually not upset, so stop trying to comfort me. Well, I was upset slightly, but now I suspect that I may not have been that one person, and anyway I was just rambling/chatting.

Date: 2005-01-17 05:24 pm (UTC)The one improvement that I, for one, would appreciate, would be to actually tell us - in at least one or two words - what the articles that you so often link to are about. Even the name of the article (or post) would be good, for starters. If someone on my friends list would post completely unexplained link every once in a while, I wouldn't hesitate to click on it, but you post unexplained links very, very frequently. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that I know I'm not going to be interested in every one, especially since I have significantly different views than you do on several subjects, and since you post so many links, I end up just ignoring all of them. If you posted article titles, or a one sentence intro, or just a mention of what the articles are about, then I'd click on the links that interested me as opposed to mostly just ignoring them. :) (I can't speak for anyone else, but it's very possible that others feel the same way, so mentioning what you're linking to might generate more comments for you as well.)

Date: 2005-01-17 05:28 pm (UTC)I usually just get lazy. I'm so big with the linkies, after a while it's up to "well, how do I describe this one?" and I just... slack off. *sighs* BAD CONNIE! *smites self*
I will try to do better.
