I use LJ for people and comics, because I find the LJ interface better for reading long posts. For news feeds, and other things where I ignore 90% of the items and open the interesting ones in new windows, I use Google Reader.
And I was also tearing my hair out - I had no Dilbert!
Besides many RSS feeds and a couple of email lists, I also read a couple of private google/yahoo groups (where most participants use email) via their websites.
I'm on the mailing list for Fitnesse (automated testing stuff) - and I mostly read that via the website, because it's easier than getting lots of emails.
My highest-volume mailing list is Bracknell Forest Freecycle Bracknell Freegle, which I get in what Yahoo! call "Digest Mode" -- one email for each 25 posts, which makes the quantity a little more managable.
Cartoons, notification of updates from certain websites, and filtered subsets of BBC news, all come via RSS on my LJ friends page.
