I have a general policy of adding anyone who adds me to their Friends, mainly out of curiosity. I can't possibly keep up with reading everyone's LJs, of course, so mostly skim occasionally and also maintain a separate and much smaller list (see MANAGE -> FRIENDS -> CUSTOM FRIENDS GROUPS) which I check more frequently.
I've had people complain about me not adding them to my Friends list quickly enough, complain about me not posting in their LJs, complain that I'm not keeping up with their LJs, complain lots, actually. So I've posted the following:
I find that no matter what you do or don't do, you'll end up offending someone eventually. So in the end, it's best to do what's most convenient for you, else you'll end up hating LJ and its politics and end up leaving. Much more fun to have you here!
