    imo (and just IMO) I think anyone who has over 150 is really not being interactive. Thats just me. For me in the 70-75 range is enought to keep me busy and interactive. I prefer not to HIDE anyone. Those of you with over 150-200 I would have to guess you are hiding a ton of ppl.

    NOt that there is anything wrong with that, its just not my deal.
    Over 200, don't have any hidden, and try to comment on almost everybody's posts during the day. So hard luck, you guessed wrong.

    Right? I have over 300 and I don't hide anybody. Some of my friends are simply inactive...I don't go through and delete inactive people, I figure something came up and they'll be back in their own time. I'm very interactive and comment to lots of people every day, and I appreciate their comments to me as well.

    It's a personal choice and everyone has to find their comfort level with MFP friendships. My comfort level may not be yours and vice versa, and that's ok.

    I try to make sure my interactions count. So, I don't pass out "wtg's" like they are candy on Halloween, but when I do have something to say, I mean it.

    I only delete people who've disappeared, and that's mainly because I would like to trim the numbers a bit to more manageable levels. But I have people on my FL who have never interacted with me once, in 4 years, and have just kept logging away, so I figure I must be a person who they want to keep on their FL. I don't require that they talk to me or do anything.

    I'm just over 200 these days, but my core group of 25-30 favorites are the ones I speak to daily and interact with. That's perfect for me.

    I like to keep my list at around 100 because it's really important for me to be able to comment on everyone's progress etc.

    I have 22 friends. Personally I think that's a lot for me. Half of those people I know in. RL. The other half are either entertaining, encouraging, or just fun to chit chat with. I'm very selective about the requests that I accept and if you haven't settled into one of the above categories in a few weeks you're gonna get deleted.

    It's my FL, so I feel like I can do what ever I please with it.

    Sigh... this is my ... achillies heel? Is that a correct term?

    I am becoming less concerned about how it looks to others - that is, whether I delete or add or whatever. But I honestly think that 30-50 friends, to actually interact with every day or every other day is a lot. I mean really. I'm not talking about stamping a "wtg" on their diary and that's it. I could do that, but I've been here long enough that seems like a waste of time if that's all it is.


    So I am thinking about reducing my list a LOT so that it really is just the people I have the time to interact with on a daily(or just frequent) basis. For the sake of user-friendliness and efficiency with time and the tools on MFP, this choice currently wins over the other one. I'm just not organized enough to have 200+ friends and interact with only 40 of them.
