Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

I prefer the list of people I read to be as close as possible to the list of people who read my locked posts, so I'm going to continue to subscribe and grant access at the same time, as on LJ. The only exception I'm making at the moment is where someone is on DW with OpenID and I already read their journal/blog in its original location; in that case, I'm granting access without subscribing. If my DW friends list fills up too much with cross-posts from LJ, I may also stop subscribing to that person on DW, but so far, it's manageable. (I don't object to cross-posting - I'll probably be doing it myself for the benefit of anyone who only reads me on DW - but I don't want to get swamped by posts that are turning up twice in two different places.)
