Your latter paragraph is basically what I'm doing - I experience LJ through filters, so I'll be able to keep people friended, having access to my locked posts, but will be able to take their posts off my Friends List if I've already seen their posts at DW.

I think I'll probably watch you at DW and not LJ, as it seems you're more firmly established there......if there's something urgent for me to see at LJ, you will have to let me know!
