certainly worth an ask, I'd think, I use tracking in much the same way as you, to make LJ more like an RSS feed of public only interaction (I suspect I might well do the same here, if only because those coming in from LJ are liable still to have a bit of that emotional "but friends" reaction)


I also use subscription to finess what I'm reading and filter down just to the specific tag public posts (I want to read an author's fic but they're a spoiler-phile and I don't want to read their spoiler rants etc)

let me know if you do and I'll come comment to your comment with my 2c :)
