weird LJ hiccup

[ratcreature]

For some reason LJ set the number of entries displayed on my f-list to ten, which wasn't what I had it set at, and I haven't been fiddling with any settings there so, I can't accidentally have changed it. I corrected this again in the style settings, and now it displays more entries again, but I wonder why LJ did that. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I hate the email "news" announcements so much. They all end with this gigantic run-on paragraph of ridiculous adventures of "Frank the Goat" that sound like they were written by a stupid, dull, eight-year-old who thinks s/he's incredibly amusing and yet, isn't. I cannot imagine who the target audience of this nonsense is and yet every time, there it is again.

I do worry about the automatic setting of flists to 10 entries. To me it just feels like the kind of thing you do when you're running out of money in your budget and the next paycheck is just a little too far off. Not really the feeling I want to get from a journaling service where a lot of stuff I care about is stored. (And I don't even mean *my* stuff, since that's all backed up. But I remember when yahoogroups started deleting archived messages of high-traffic groups and everyone was shocked about that, too...)

Yeah. I'm bad about backups. I mean, I do crosspost my entries, but I don't run a backup to have copies of comments and conversations in my journal all that often (I remember maybe every couple of months at best).

Overall the conversations and communities have patchy backups at best. And I mean, social networking services still go under all the time with little warning. Larger ones than LJ too, like Bebo.
