afunaThink I've finally gotten my circle sorted out! I've been putting it off since before Open Beta. Noticed a few people who added me but I lost in all the other stuff in my inbox, so added back (think I got you all?)
The Access/Subscribe list makes me feel much more open to linking up to new people. I can subscribe without needing to decide whether I also want to grant access to locked entries, or at least, I can put off that decision without causing any hard feelings. So much less stress over decision-making!
I am in favor of anything that means putting off decisions -- and now that I've settled on a default mode, which is to subscribe to pretty much anyone who subscribed to me, I can do just that. Granting access is done almost randomly, probably happens if I know you from somewhere else or we've commented at each other somewhere.
But I tend to suck at linking up people with context, so I may not actually figure out who people are for some time (this is, um, a distinct possibility. I tend to place people based on name shapes, so if the name changes between contexts, or sometimes even the font or color, I tend to blank out).
