this post didn't work in .admin.general... let's see if it works here:

In lugnet.admin.general, Todd Lehman writes:
oh.  What on earth do personal channels (or weblogs, for that matter) have to
do with guestbooks?  Well, they're almost exactly the same thing.  The only
difference, other than the minutiae of formatting, is who can read entries
and who can write (add) entries...

                             |      Producers       |    Consumers
  ---------------------------+---------------------+------------------
   Public Guestbook          |        anyone        |      anyone
  ---------------------------+---------------------+------------------
   Private Guestbook         |        anyone        |     only you
  ---------------------------+---------------------+------------------
   Public Channel or Weblog  |       only you       |      anyone
  ---------------------------+---------------------+------------------
   Private Channel           |       only you       |     only you
  ---------------------------+---------------------+------------------

Oh...
I think I get it now...

So every person will have:
*a Private channel that tracks groups or posts by your request. Only you can
can see what these are.
*A Public channel that also tracks groups or posts, but anyone can check out
what they are if they want to see what you're reading.
*A public guestbook in which people can point out stuff to you (as in: did you
see this post?). Other people who look at your channel see this.
*The same thing, except only you can see it.

Did I get that straight, or did I make a big mish-mash? :-)
