of course, if everyone were spending all their time reading other people's journals, those journals would never get updated, and everyone would soon become bored and find another pastime.

and that's not even considering, that with everyone spending all their time reading journals, that no work would get done, the electricity bills wouldn't get paid, the power would get shut off and the servers would crash, plus the readers would turn into zombies from lack of sleep and subsequently starve to death because they weren't buying food or eating...

my gosh, it's a wonder they haven't outlawed online journals, considering how dangerous they might be.
