Packrats - The Power of Trivia

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

Not a perfect title, but recently I came up with interesting questions.

What do you do with friends when it comes to friend lists/buddy lists?
-Do you just accept any friend request no matter who it is from, or do you only do family and close friends, etc.?
-If you have a friend in one of your lists would you be more likely to keep them there forever or unfriend them if they have been inactive for a couple months? What do you normally consider when you unfriend someone?

When you get an email, would you be more likely to leave it in your inbox for future reference, or would you delete it?

Accept from pretty much anyone, as long as it's someone I've talked to or at least seen before, unless there's any specific reason not to. In the future though, I'll probably have separate lists for people I know IRL and people I know online.

-If you have a friend in one of your lists would you be more likely to keep them there forever or unfriend them if they have been inactive for a couple months? What do you normally consider when you unfriend someone?
I don't think I've ever unfriended anyone. I'd keep them in my list unless they start to bother me (never happened).

When you get an email, would you be more likely to leave it in your inbox for future reference, or would you delete it?
I save pretty much everything that isn't notifications, system messages, or spam.

@ Misery:  All of that sounds a lot like me. (Maybe with one or two minor differences.)  However, I do know that there are people who like to keep only active friends in their lists. Which probably sounds weird. (I think having a log of all people you've contacted in the past with whatever messenger you are using is pretty neat, so...) Ofcourse, for group lists (like the clans), it is possible they could be slightly different?; I guess it can depend on what the members want? For example, had Salanewt been Venus's head still, the members would probably been removed after 3 months of inactivity, but I forget exactly.... I decided that it should be 6 months. (And I'm not even actively monitoring them anymore.)

@Ragna: I take it you don't get emails either? :) Your life must be clean of trivia.

I won't accept friend invites from people I haven't talked to.  If I've talked to someone and sorta like 'em, I'll accept.  Otherwise, no.  As for unfriending...  I go through my list every year or three and delete everyone that doesn't come online or talk to me anymore, but with a thirty day warning.  And as for e-mail, I only save e-mails from a special someone unless it has super-important information.  Everything else gets deleted eventually.

but with a thirty day warning.

That sounds nice. Letting people know why you've removed them is also a good way to give them the opportunity to re-friend you if they ever become active again and are interested. (That is, if you choose to accept re-friends.)

I only save e-mails from a special someone

Ah. Not sure if you are dating, or...

@Tea: Well, I get spam, if that counts as getting email. You should see the @#$% I find in my inbox, sometimes they advertise "penis enlargement" pills. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A @#$%&*! DICK TO ENLARGE.


Why doesn't anyone send me a year's supply of beer? And why is the spam I get always about penis pills and blow up sex dolls?

Well, I get spam for stuff like "win a free iPad" and @#$% like that, but I mostly get the crazy stuff.

The someone special is my first girlfriend ever.
