Perhaps someone could talk me through this one, please? The
pep/message mix seems a bit peculiar to me, particularly as it seems
to miss out on the usual 'bleg' benefit of seeing others' replies etc.
It seems at the moment as if one might just as well send a message to
their roster, and wait for a reply.

Do you really want to send a message to everyone in your roster? What if they aren't interested in your blegs? PEP enables us to filter. Now, whether the answers should be public is another matter. That is the usual custom on blogs (if people provide an answer in the comments), but people *could* poke a blogger privately via email or IM instead of in the comments.
