This sort of stems from the previous discussion, but is more geared toward
using the web interface and how different people use filter and group
features.

Maybe it's just the way I use the feature, but I use filters on my various
journals for breaking up my friends' list reading page into different
'pieces', so to speak.  (I find this especially useful for RPGs with
multiple comms.)

Using the RPG example:  For one character, I may have that one in 3 diff
games, so I have 6 sets of filters - 1 for each game comm and 1 for each OOC
comm for those games, that way I can click the filter and read the posts for
a subset of all the comms on that journal's f'list.

Using my personal LJ: I have stuff I read almost daily in one filter (the
default), then other comms that I'm part of, but don't look at every day
(for any number of reasons: almost no posts, posts 300 times a day, NSFW,
whatever), but I also have groups on that filter list that are actually
FILTERS, as in 'these subject-related posts go to sub-set A of f'list, but
these others go to sub-set B'.

Sort of a combination 'organizational tool' and 'filter list'.  I'd like to
have a way to keep the two separate, though it's not imperative for my use
of the service.

Of course, I could be the only one who uses filters this way, but I thought
I'd toss it out there, in case I'm not. =)
