I note, with wry humor, that I had not at this point admitted to myself that I was keeping an online journal.

In December 2004 I removed some final paragraphs of this entry with the comment
"The rest of this referred to the "stamp" images and some other behind-the-scenes matter,
all of which is now obsolete and not the least bit pertinent to the above."
That's as may be. In the present day I'd have kept it as historical record, but too late now; those paragraphs are gone.

Been reading some online journals, as a result of hearing from a reader who keeps one.

I note that most of the pages I read regularly could be considered "journals" in some sense of the word - that is, they're updated regularly and they mostly talk about what's going on in the writer's life.

On the other hand, I also note that online journals and news pages are the only things on the web which get updates every day, so assuming you get your news from archaic print sources (as I do), what else would you check every morning on the web?

I like the idea of a group of humans interconnected by the fact that they read each others' daily jottings. I like thinking that they eventually email each other and have conversations directly and become friends.

Me being me, tomorrow I may well think the whole idea is treacly and stupid. I am nothing if not prone to mood swings.
