hmm, I just did a f-cut in my LJ last night too. I think.. it depends on why you wanna f-cut those people? Like... eg, maybe I dun wanna sooo many people in my LJ so I wanna reduce the number. Or maybe random people added you and they didnt comment on your posts before, they just add and poom! Disappear... etc etc.

So you need to know what kind of friends you wanna keep in your list. If they friended you for your fics but yet, didnt comment before, then if I were you, I would remove them.

As for f-lock, i cant really say much. It all depends on whether you want your posts to be f-lock or not. Because seriously, I have come to the acknowledgement that... actually f-locking doesnt really help. I tried that before n it didnt help much. *sigh*

*pats*

if its all about silent readers or silent people coming to and fro, I understand your feeling. I hate it too.
