Hi, I'm Jo, and I added you because I saw you posting in satorias's journal and recognised you from Making Light, (and especially your being a beacon of sanity in the TJP affair).
It isn't going to be possible for you to actually read all the people who friend you -- I have 394 people who have friended me. This isn't because I'm fascinating, it's because I'm a published writer. The same thing will happen. You have to discriminate. I don't in the slightest bit mind that all those people read me, and I don't post friendslocked articles they can't read. But I can't possibly read all of them. I read about 100, some of whom post extremely seldom, and who are a selection of interesting people and writers and personal friends. I do, however, look at all the new people who friend me. (There's a utility which lets you see who the new people are, and I tend to get one or two more at a time.) I find it fascinating to look at their info and journals once and just see a snatch of their life.
Oh, and there isn't any way to make the comments threads better threaded. I wish there were. If you get the comments emailed to you, it makes it easier to check you haven't missed anything, and avoids needing to search through the 10 you've read to find the new 11th one. This drives me mad in long threads, especially long interesting threads in other people's journals.
