Well... maybe.  There may still be one or two who don't know what 
GoDaddy is, anyway.

Ahhh.  I am not too familiar with the ins and outs.  I am more of a 
reader than a writer.  The friends lists can be emulated on a private 
blog---with a lot of work and a database server.  The linked blogs, I 
wasn't really aware of.  Of course, everything that can be done on LJ 
can be done elsewhere.  But that would be reinventing the wheel.  I do 
understand that LJ is powerful and convenient, and *already set up and 
running*.  So, if you'd rather write fanfic than code, I supposed you'd 
be a bit unlikely to want to shift.

It's just those darned _Russians_.  I don't trust them.  Maybe it's just 
me, and I am being paranoid.
