Journal: Now... why should I write in my journal?

Seriously. Is there any advantage to doing it here over on my own website? Would anyone really be interested in opinions of mine that weren't in reaction to a post? Somehow I don't think so, as it's never occurred to me yet to read anyone else's journal including the guys who started the site. But they did put this feature in, so perhaps there is some merit to it.

I'm making this Comments Enabled so that anyone who thinks I should keep a journal can say so - or anything else they want to say.
