Huckleberries Online

High Noon: Blogfest Unveiling

I've been pondering a comment made by Idawa (I believe) a week or so ago. He said that Huckleberries Online lost a little of its magic when bloggers, commenters & blurkers met one another at the earlier blogfests. (There were two unofficial ones -- at the SR building & Bayview -- prior to the previous two at Capones.) Idawa felt that the dynamics and passion of debate were better served when no one knew who the other bloggers and posters were. What do you think?

Question: Did Huckleberries lose or gain something as a result of blogfests and other interaction in which Berry Pickers willingly revealed who they were to others?
