Interesting. We’ve always noticed and acknowledged the salutary effects of blogging, and in various ways. Some self-medicate; they’re largely about themselves; they become marginalized after a while. Others work more obviously to make everybody’s community experience richer, fuller, more engaged, and healthier.
