I’ve given slack to those who’ve fallen behind and gave way to the “Mark all as read” button to start over with a clean slate but…dare I? That 410 keeps slapping me in the face and it’s like every post I read 5 more pop up! I’ve read the posts that try to help you read posts faster but all your stuff is so good!! I don’t have crappy feeds in my Reader, you’re there because I like what you say!! I’m fearful however as to how much I can get through tonight and tomorrow…”Mark all as read” is screaming my name.
I’ll update you in 24 hours and if I’ve missed something exciting just let me know 
I’m sitting on 168 subscriptions right now (that includes about 10 or so comment feeds).
Every morning I nuke the sports and wired feeds, and only glance at most of the rest. If one catches my eye as interesting then I set it aside and read it when I’m throw plowing the field.
There are about 10 blogs that I consistantly must read though… Those 10 are generally the same 10 I feed the comments to now that I think about it…
j, k and s are your friends!
I’m at 142 … I usually can speed read through those, but when it gets into the 400+, that’s why I click the button and declare RSS Bankruptcy.
