And Bill this is the key, the crux of the matter. Yes some people are going to write regardless -- look at the blog obsession that is currently happening.
The question is whether the writing produced is worth reading.
My summation is that without a system the rewards the art of writing there will be very little worth reading and the impossible task will be finding that needle in the haystack. The web in general is already much in this vein.
