== De-cluttering [blog post] == 

 It feels good to clear the cruft from time to time.  I just removed 400 articles and pages, a reduction of 60%, from my watchlist.  Over the last few days, I have taken a step back and looked at what I have been doing and comparing it to what I want to do.  If I get tired of the wiki for the evening, it's no problem.  I haven't been commenting on the WP:HWY/IRC channel like I had been for the last five years, but I have been watching it.  It feels great not having to put up with other people's self-important bullshit or not pretending to care about ArbCom. 

 So, if you're reading this, I'm doing just fine doing my own thing.  I'm tired, but what else is new?  If I said something that hit a little too close to home, maybe you could use a wikibreak, too.  This site will operate just fine without you. –
