On average, how many questions do you "follow"?

Do you keep all of the questions you’ve responded to active?
Right now I’m following around 54 questions and I’ve only been a flutherite since March 7. I’m worried that after a while I’ll just be looking at new responses to old threads… I guess I’ll have to eventually be more aggressive about removing questions I’m only mildly interested in.

I don’t usually see a reason to drop them, so I keep them all active.
I keep most active if I think they’ll be useful down the line. If I’m not interested in other answers I’ll drop them as soon as I get annoyed by updates to the question. No offense by any means, but I’m sure I’ll stop following this one.
I generally keep following questions until the answers degenerate. Its happened on a few questions but actually not too many.
yeah, Kevbo, I know whachamean.
If a question becomes inactive, or has gone off topic and ended up either too silly or argumentative for me, I usually weed them out after a few days.
I’m currently following 434 questions. We should probably paginate the “Questions You’re Following” page.
I keep all of my questions active. Even if no one has responding in a long time, because sometimes 3–4 months down the road new people join fluther and go back and answer old questions so its nice to see their input too.
@sferik ~ yes, that would be a great tool !
I have only been on this site for a week if that. I am following about 20 or so. Not had the need to end any discussions as yet. I will make the most of it before I get kicked off!
Good grief. Now I feel like an indiscriminate purger – I rarely have more than 4 or 5 going.
I follow ‘em for three or four days…
And that’s only for maybe 4 or 5, eight or ten questions tops….
Or till the question dosen’t get any more hits, then I see no reason to follow…
I have all of them, Some which get annoying, like that “What is Life?” question which has been active daily for about 3 months, get purged after a while. I like to follow the questions for a long time because it’s interesting how the debate changes over a long period of time…
I follow all of them I have answered.
All those that I’ve answered, except those that are way off topic or outdated. Those that I will not answer, that I’m interested in knowing more about. And several which I may answer later when I have time..
