@nitinkhanna @khurtwilliams It was a surprise to see Belle's post coming up again, nine months later! I didn't agree with what she wrote about owning one's content, and I said so at the time, but I do agree with her metaphor (which came right near the end of her posting) that said being on micro.blog was a lot like being at a party at Manton's house. I think that was especially true at the time she wrote her piece. But the website full of tutorials for beginners recently published by @Miraz at @custom has a good chance of totally blowing away that metaphor. I am hopeful that is the case and would prefer for Khurt to stay, as well.
