   I want to have a blog/phlog/gemlog, but I don't want to be   
   sending that kind of writing to /dev/null. I don't want to   
   think of my thoughts as stderr, which is what I'd usually   
   redirect to /dev/null.   
      
   Rather, I want others to stumble upon it who'll, in turn,   
   write some things my post jogged free of memory recesses,   
   preferably amidst a sprinkling of quotes from what I wrote   
   so that it looks somewhat conversational. And I become   
   aware of that, and respond somewhat in kind, except of   
   course some subtopics naturally fall away as others become   
   more prominent.   
      
   But there's a sort of ongoing "rollin', rollin',   
   rollin'... keep those posties rollin'" to it.   
      
   That's all. Solving world problems is optional. Being   
   "right" is unnecessary. It's just stuff coming to mind   
   expressed in flurries of joy of typing.   
      
   So I guess I don't want to have a blog/phlog/gemlog. I   
   want to have a USENET newsgroup (or two, or several)   
   presence amongst like-texturally-demeanor-ed others.   
      
   So simple, and yet so rare....
