when I first encountered usenet, I often thought that if it was curated and moderated in a sensible fashion, it would naturally attract people to the news groups where they could be most helpful. Later, as blogs came to replace (sort of) usenet, I hoped somehow that might happen with blogs, but inside I always knew there was never much chance of that.
