I'd like to post less frequently, but to do that I need to know what to cut. So you tell me:

nibot	This is one reason why I'd like it if LJ had some function whereby readers could note individual posts as "interesting," "well written," etc: feedback and possible collaborative filtering.

snej Xanga has some kind of thing where readers can press a button to give a post a thumbs-up. I think they call it "eProps" or something lame like that.

zezu none of the above. it's a tie between esoteric compsci (like Haskell) and the steady deep & wide variety of developers who weigh in.

herbie	I actually do enjoy just about everything you post here. I mean, I'm sure that's no help to you in terms of cutting down your posting, but it's true. If anything, I'd cut down the "rebroadcasts", but usually they are paired with some kind of commentary which is cool (a la "gator", no pun intended).
