Hmmm. Wondering about LJ Friends List Ettiquette, this morning. I mean, I've added people I know, and I have not been added in return for numerous reasons. One: Inactive Journal. I can deal with that. Two...who the hell knows. I just find it rude.

In the meantime: Hey theninjakitten! You know the guy who used to run IGU, right? Can you tell him to put it back up, please? Tired of seeing 13 pages about people I can't stand on Snark. Let's see some praise on the Net for once! :)

I don't think there is etiquette. If someone adds you to their list, you're not required to add them to yours. Sometimes it's a matter of convenience: I have a little over 100 people on my Friends list, and that's after cutting 33% of them. Sometimes, someone - especially someone you know well and talk to often - doesn't add you because they don't get any additional benefit from reading your journal, because you tell them everything privately anyway. Sometimes, people prefer to read certain journals individually.

If someone doesn't add you to their Friends list, it isn't necessarily a slight, and in fact it probably isn't a slight. Find it rude if you like, but the person at the other end probably doesn't see it that way.
