i think you're right--my guess is that is because of the culture that has developed on the blog, responding to less content-ful posts.

i did note that, too, however. my guess would be that a commitment to actual discussions would change the deliberations over time.

web discussion? really?

While the discussion at the forum seems to have been good, the discussion on the blog itself is sorely lacking. The first post is a weird "logic" puzzle, and the second is a poll comparison. Doesn't seem to have actually done that much good in fostering long-term discussion of the issues raised.

Obama's videotaped foreign policy forum from yesterday is a wonderful use of the web to share content and invite discussion.
