There are times when I want to write a journal entry which is not meant for discussion but is meant perhaps to tell my friends both on and off the board how I am doing, or even just as writing therapy. Other times I do want to start a discussion on a topic that isn't on the list - and a journal entry posted on the "Active" list is a great place for that.
With the "Share with:" buttons, I can choose to share with Public, Members, or friends, but if I want to include friends who are not members, I have to choose Public. On the Journal entry itself, I can choose to accept comments or not. But the basic fact is, everbody who signs on is invited to look at it.
Could you add another button to the Journal choices- selecting "My Journal Only" or "Active List", I think it would add another dimension of usefulness to the site.
And of course, since I am posting this as a discussion, I invite anybody to tell me if they agree or not.
