Friends page overload

Gah. Things are getting to the point where my friends page regularly picks up dozens of posts in just a few hours and keeping up with them all is just draining far too much of my time. Something has to change, as it means that other things are not getting done. Two options present themselves: firstly, I could just defriend a whole bunch of people who I don't really know, secondly, I could just read my friends page filtered. To help me decide, here's a gratuitous poll which I may or may not take any notice of. Enjoy.

Poll #176376 To de, or not to de - that is the question.
Open to: Friends, detailed results viewable to: All. Participants: 33

What should I do about friends-page overload?

Use filters, then folk can still read your protected posts.

I don't care what you do to them, just don't defriend me!

As I have no plans to bring back him_over_there I really don't care what you do. My preference was to use filters, so I would vote for that.

I am not sure why you added me in the first place as we have only met once and the only thing we really have in common is our given name.

I shall say goodbye in anticipation of deletion. It was nice being watched by you.

Mark.

The reason my friendslist got so unweildy was due to freinding anyone I've met IRL who has an LJ, and anyone who friended me. CLearly, this is not sustainable.

OTOH, the cull is mostly aimed at people filling up my freinds page, so dead or rarely posting journals aren't planned to go under the knife...
