To blog or not to blog
When you drive a mailing list or a blog you do not know what it is good for. Probably, there are lists and forums that serve just what they intend to. However, it might well be that for instance the list for announcements of events is used by some to know where not to go. For some diehard lurkers, your other forum might be a constant reminder that another life is possible. And your blog posts might be seen as descriptions of all but what actually is. When you do not drive a mailing list or a blog you do not know what it is good for.
