Man, I've been wanting to make a post like this for ages, but I've still never gotten around to it. Instead I've chickened out and just started reading my f-list on a filter, so that I skip over all the posts in communities I no longer care about and people I only friended because it seemed the polite thing to do, even though I have nothing in common with them.

Anyway, I'm glad not to have been deleted, and intend to stick around, if you'll have me. :)

Best of luck with your work!
