yeah, the complete topic-freeness is what i love about LJ and blogs. not only does it encourage self-confidence (i think LJ's overall more kind nature (kinder than usenet) also does that), but it's just wonderful in and of itself to be able to write about anything and everything that comes to mind. it's nice to have alt.fan.me.me.me as a "home" from which to branch out. just that LJ doesn't branch much.

no, threading and sequencing is not that hard to code; the first online system i was on already had the basics of that 25+ years ago, better than blogs today. it just seems that all too many people are perfectly happy without it, which boggles my mind.

and when will effing LJ learn to insert a subject automatically? never. they just don't think it's necessary. but it's ever so helpful when reading comments through email notifications.
