Blogging is a phenomenon with deep social and cultural implications.
Issues such as singular vs plural, self vs collective, whether it's a
democratic tool compared to wikis for instance (see freezope.org),
the practical consequences on a Listserv like this one, etc. deserve
careful examination.

I control the content of what I write, but exercise very little control on
the content written by other authors. Ask any regular contributors
(Louis et al.) about Swans' motus operandi.

Best,
