I never deleted interesting feed from my reader because of author inactivity. Never. It does not cost anything to have it hidden in my reader. I deleted plenty of feeds which started to post rubbish-quality posts, rewrite news etc (maybe those $5-$10 investments). They waste my time, sir. If you have nothing interesting to say, it's better to shut up than to prove you have nothing to say. Yet another post here which advises posting rubbish just to avoid being silent.

Recently I've had a couple of people who I considered strong members of my community just up and disappear off the radar. As a doting dad, I always think maybe they got in a car crash or something. It's kind of akin to leaving a party without saying goodbye to anyone. George I agree about notifying folks if you’re going away.

I'm considering doing a 301 re-direct from one of my established blogs to new one that I would rather spend all of my time on. The links and traffic would be beneficial for my new project, but I also run the risk of losing trust with my readers if they sense that I'm not committed to seeing things through. My main challenge is time, and I would rather invest everything that I have in the blogs that I know have a proven revenue model. Thanks for this post.
