the neatest thing i've gotten out of these community diaries (bob being my first) is all of the new people i've met and all of the new diaries i've started reading. before this community thing, my favorites were always sort of a mish-mash of people and places. bob is a way of binding people and giving them common ground, common diaries to visit, and common things to discuss. i like the unity it provides.

also, i am like sif, and i've always loved the "secret club" aspect. i'm not all about being exclusive and elite, but i think it's a neat way to organize a small group of people and share something among us.
