Publishing tool LiveJournal nurtures a dazzling array of unorthodox subcultures. But will diversity continue to flourish in the wake of its purchase by blogging start-up Six Apart?

The only reason I pasted the whole article here is because it's about this community - our community. Though I don't usually see myself as a freak, geek and queer, I do see myself as somebody who has found in LJ an important tool for both my exterior and interior life.

I'm sure it will all be okay and this will be like the Y2K fizzle, but information is a good thing and sharing information is always a very good thing. To the BtVS people, I almost titled this Where do we go from here?... I'll never shake my Buffy days (nor do I intend to).

Incidently - I backed up my LJ - just in case (thank you again, voluptuous voodoo_in_tx).

To all of you out there: have a good weekend.

P.S. * Durkheim - I couldn't very much stand him in my student days. Freaks me out to see him quoted or ref'ed to this day.
P.P.S. Acupuncture was painless. So far, so good.
