(Even while wondering about my spelling of "echoing.") Maybe I'm more generally voyeuristic than most, but what I like about LJ is the opportunity it gives to peek into the lives of those who are, some of the time, complete strangers. I read some of your posts more closely than others but, in general, I just like seeing what you've got to say about whatever. Sometimes I pick up grammar hints; sometimes I find out about some show on television; sometimes I learn that people can give their frequent flier miles away. When I post to my own LJ, it's for my own amusement, as a rule. I don't see that you should feel obligated to write usage posts when you don't feel like it, or that you should stop posting about Fast & Furious vids if the poll numbers indicate those posts are less popular. So what? -em ps. Have you heard that Fox (or was it WB?) is begging Joss to come back and do something for them? It seems their various replacement shows don't hold the viewers the way Angel did. -em
