		<description>You hit the nail on the head! I like how you ended with addressing the issue of how online communities can wither quickly without participation. An online community is based on relationships. If the relationships are not there, you have no community. Again, great job!

		<description>Great thoughts here.  The one I think that is most important is the aspect of diversity and conflict.  Without them, there can be no growth for the community.  Too often individuals are afraid of difference of opinion and see it as harmful/detrimental to the community when in fact it oftentimes is the catalyst for new ideas, new understandings and growth.</description>
