I have to agree with your rationale. I’m here to participate; to walk and talk in the ’sphere. I’m not here to become some seminal work for a new ways to think.

Playing with webware is fun. Participation is fun. Self-examination of what catches your interest enough to spend the effort to blog about it is interesting. Winning the arms race with comment spammers for 10 minutes is invigorating. Getting 10 emails a month from GoDaddy.com saying “if you don’t want to transfer your domain to us then don’t respond to this email” is … priceless.

I especially liked “I confess to enjoying the occasional idle sojourn through old blog posts …,” because I thought I was the only one who liked rereading my own old stuff.
