i agree with you in principle.
my take on this whole issue is that for the time being, until this place musters enough steam (no pun intended), and builds a lot of inertia, for it to run on its own weight, we have to encourage even the smallest of interactions.
everyone is different. so, this place has to cater to everyone, until we, as a community, decide who we want and who we don't. your blog post, to me, comes across as such: who do we want on this site? this is something that the community as a unit will decide with pull and push factors. this is something that will be out of the hands of any one individual.
so, i do appreciate your contribution. keep blogging and ink your observations. :)
