I make forays outside my flist, to spectate, and find it very entertaining in a voyeuristic way...but I don't friend those, I prefer to watch from a safe distance!
Oh yes! I do the same thing sometimes. I have a few people bookmarked, and occasionally I check on them. I usually don't have anything to say, but they seem interesting, just not interesting enough to do the friending dance with.
I don't filter either for the exact same reason. I just don't see the point of omitting them from my flist reading. If something big happens, then they're going to figure out that I don't read it, and I don't want to upset people like that...I'd rather just defriend entirely and avoid it. I read every single entry on my flist that is from a user and not a community, and I would like to keep it that way.
Oh, yes, I don't always think to comment on everything...I feel enough of my comments are the boring "I hope you feel better soon" variety and I don't want to drive people nuts.
