    I’m definitely with you on that.

    One of the points of these posts, I hope, will be that we will find people with the same interests. So that instead of doing everything themselves, they can have a partner(s) to help carry the load.

      Oh yeah, for sure. I’m a bit of the belief that the 1-9-90 rule means that as we expand the 1% that are actively posting, the commenters and lurkers will follow, so I think these efforts to empower new folks to create and run a community are a great idea and effort, and getting folks to feel like they’re not alone is a good way to make that more accessible.
