The downside of propagating articles to cabal.journals is that because the propagation technology is one-way, it means I have to go chasing after comments in more places than I do now, and that I might end up with two different conversations out of sync with each other in response to the same entry.

Personally, I wasn't happy when I heard about cabel.livejournals. A lot of the journels I read belong to people with cabel accounts. Even more cabel people comment on those posts. I enjoy reading both entries and comments and fear that if people start commenting in the cabel newsgroup then I will lose out on something I enjoy as I don't have access to cabel.

Conversely, a significant fraction of the journals I read are of people who don't have a cabal account.

Having read the discussion in cabal.journals, it seems to me that the key is that there are two different roles people want from forums: a place for discussion (for which newsgroups are well suited) and a place to share thoughts without necessarily provoking discussion (which LJ is arguably better suited to). sysadmin@cabal's position appears to be that the latter is not a desirable feature in a forum.

Come to think of it, at least one of them has been explicitly denied a cabal account.
