Friends List Policy

guslDon't ask my permission to add me. Adding me amounts to (A) giving me permissions (B) adding to your browsing convenience. It couldn't possibly bother me.
The (A) property above is meaningful to the system at a deep level, unlike (B) (one of my complaints with LiveJournal is mixing up those distinct concepts). So, if I'm no longer interested in somebody's journal, I take them off my LJ50 friends group. This does not mean I don't want them to read my friends-only posts. If that were the case, I would take them out of my friends list.
If it were to happen I want to read somebody's journal, but don't want them to read my friends-only posts, I would create a "privacy" group to use for those posts. Basically, I would no longer use a "friends list", but instead a "reading list" and a "trusted reader list".
