Heh. :) Thanks.

I've been resisting expanding my LJ friends list so that I wouldn't spend _too_ much time keeping up with it...

I know what you mean, I've been thinking of trimming mine lately, or at least starting to use the friends filters for reading it, rather than only for filtering which of my posts people can see. No offense taken either way. I think people take this whole LJ friends thing way too seriously. :-P

FYI, if you care about teacher-y things, I have another blog syndicated at modern_science where I talk (nearly) exclusively about academia and science issues, and many of the unlocked posts I have here on those subjects I crosspost there. I.e., it's possible that blog would be more interesting to you than this one, and I post there less often, but then you would miss out on the locked posts I have here, and the conversation that's more likely to happen here. It's your call, and it doesn't much matter to me either way, but I thought I'd point it out in case it'd help shorten your friendslist reading.
