Well written. Personally, CLD seemed "too hard" before it had search - I am just too used to google getting me what I want. I will try in the future to add interesting tidbits to the CLD though. I really liked your post, and I think that every couple of months CL Gardeners will probably need a bit of stoking of the motivational fires. Hopefully your post will stimulate some more participation.
