I think part of the issue may be the strange and fuzzy line between an interactive chat format and a blog that readers might comment on but is not by nature interactive. I've been reading consistently, both posts and comments, but haven't found the more recent posts compelled me to comment. Which is ok - I think part of the interesting dynamic going on here is the evolution of the site and the people contributing to that evolution. So keep it up, Michael, I think it's going great. Topics: I like the topics that pose thoughtful questions about how and why we travel, also topics sharing specific travel experiences that might give someone something new to try, or somewhere new to go. Like Rattviksdansen, a folklore festival in Rattvik, Sweden. Which is awesome.
