Do You Separate Your Laundry Before Washing

I can't remember a time when the laundry here actually got separated into neat piles of whites or colors or delicates to get washed. We just sort of throw them all together and wash them like that. If we have clothes that we know may fade or have the potential to fade, we'll hand wash them or wash them separately, but otherwise, they all get washed together. I don't separate my laundry but I know some people that do. What do you do? Separate or not?
