I've got a couple hundred people on my Flist, and aside from having a filter that screens out the comms (titled "people") I just don't put much effort into catching up on stuff. I try to read regularly, but whatever floats past...floats past. *shrug* If it's important, people will post regularly about it and I'll catch it, then go catch up on their journal. If they really want me to know, they can drop me a comment or an email.
Maybe it makes me kind of a dick, but I don't really feel obligated to catch up w/ peoples' journals, and I don't feel like they're obligated to keep up w/ mine. Unless I remember having a comment exchange w/ someone over topic X, I don't assume they remember my post about it last week or month or year.
Now luckly, I've got a lot of nominally-free and internet-connected time on my hands at work and home, so I do get to keep up w/ my list for the most part, but again, if I miss something, I miss something. C'est la vie.
