I agree with Philip that you just manage to give discussions like this a depth which isn't necessarily found elsewhere. On the point about reaching community nirvana: Is the goal to have a blog where visitors end up talking to each other, while the blogger sits back and allows the conversation to take place? Does the blog owner, by the very nature of blogs, need to be involved? Personally, I feel slightly hard-done-by when I visit blogs with several comments, and no input from the blog owner. My feeling is that I have visited the blog because I appreciate the bloggers style and view, but without his own comments I feel sold short. You provide a compelling example of a hands-on blogger.

I now realize that #3 is why I've quickly become addicted to blogging. I can achieve #1 and #2 (up to a point) with my other websites. But only with my blog can I enjoy the conversational element and wonderful sense of community. You're setting the example for all we should all "achieve the nirvana of community." Thank you! Terrific post, Chris!
