I've thought a lot about this too and the reason I come back to you and indeed to others is because of the "voice". It's the same reason I read the Guardian and not the Financial Times - the voice, the interpretation and the way a blogger tells a story is what keeps people coming back. So even if you were to change the content of this blog I think people would still want to hear your take... And yes, the bloggers I have met in real life (including your good self several times) are a great bunch of people. The spirit of community building that's happening right now is fascinating and I think you can take some credit for that too - if I remember, you organised the first social gathering of bloggers in Dublin....so thanks!
