Comments on: Sophie Masson on Blogging http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/04/04/sophie-masson-on-blogging/ Life, Culture and Politics from BrisVegas Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:06:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: James Farrell http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/04/04/sophie-masson-on-blogging/#comment-20253 James Farrell Wed, 06 Apr 2005 13:20:40 +0000 http://larvatusprodeo.net/2005/04/04/sophie-masson-on-blogging/#comment-20253 Mary's opening comment goes for me as well. I am violating Brian's Rule #2 perhaps, but Mark is in effect conducting a survey, so he might want to know not just the range of attitudes, but also their frequency. While on the subject of Brian's rules, I also concur strongly with #1. But I'm also pretty busy and don't want to read through too much facetious general chit-chat, especially if the participants are an 'in' crowd, focused mainly on themselves. Comments threads give me intellectual stimulus from vigorous debate among thoughtful people (which I don't get at work), and delight in the occasional well-crafted gem of a comment. For me, it's not a substitute for the pub. I don't even go to the pub. (And I wonder if Rob's pub is real or ideal.) That's what I thought chat rooms were for. <i>TA</i> has a facetious chit-chat quotient of about 25%, <i>JQ</i> about 10%, so they suit me pretty well. Mary’s opening comment goes for me as well.
