No-no-no! You can't stop Blogit, TAPS. Even if I am pressed for time to write, I come in here and read, and I need to see you here...it would like be coming home for Christmas and a dear friend missing!!

I have just read through all your comments...they are pretty good really. Why do I stay here??? I love my cyber friends in a way that is unexplainable to someone who isn't here. It is also about the only thing I am really disciplined about. Writing my post whether i have anything to say or not. Making myself put something in, then I can reward myself with reading my friends. I miss people who leave, I cannot think of Blogit without Taps.

I am so glad you are here.
I enjoy reading your blog and seeing your pictures. I couldn't have gotten through those first two years before Richard's Transition without everyone on Blogit.

Taps I am a very different person than when I first came here. Older, less intense, less able to do the poetry and writing I did then but somehow I have a group of friends (some gone) that i love to come read their posts. If I disagree it does not have to be a disagreement just a difference of opinion. I love these people. I feel like sometimes you and I are sitting on the porch having a chit chat like when I just read this post. I love you Blogit lady.

I've been here almost as long - since the beginning of 2006, and I too have found it difficult to leave, although I did once, briefly. I did not come here to be a writer - I dropped in hoping for some stimulating debates about issues that interested me at the time (and still do). For a while I was wondering why I bothered to stick with it when I found out that 'debates' were few and far between. (Of course I quickly found out something I should have known but that hadn't occurred to me - this kind of forum isn't really suitable for debates!)
But then I discovered that I liked and sort of fell in love with some of the people here, including you of course, and it's really this kind of (to me strange) attachment I feel for some of the citizens of Blogitville that keeps me here, even though the numbers have dwindled...Many of the interesting people have left, and I hope that trend won't pick up, 'cause it would ultimately force me too to weigh anchor and sail into the sunset...

I'd hate for you to leave, we've been mates here for so long now and I can't quit either.

Blogit is an addiction for me as well. I find it difficult to imagine life before I started coming here.

It turns out, it's the community.

Hey, Blog-it serves two basic functions: honing your writing skills, and connecting with all sorts of fun, friendly, interesting people. What could be better than that? And you certainly don't want to become a 'computer chair potato.' Once those snack crumbs find their way into your keyboard . . .

If you think about where you started, how you wrote then as compared
to now, how you formed writerly habits, taking note and sharing what you observed, etc., then there has to have been an improvement in your skill. Being on Blogit is a way to discipline yourself to the writing, and to do a consistently better job of getting readers to see what you mean. Art for art's sake, plus.
