You gave the example of the seperating comments and trackbacks... I did that *just for me* - I wasn't even going to publish it - since I'm pretty sure the html isn't even valid - but a reader asked me to. There was nothing else already out there that did exactly that. But I'll also do that sometimes anyway - just to have a place so I can easily refer back to my code. (I started my blog originally more for ME than anyone else - I'm selfish that way. LOL! I wanted a central "storage" place where I could always find my code... because I was always forgetting how to do something I had figured out only a few weeks before) But I do agree with you that two people working on the same project is wasted effort. Personally I have more fun working WITH people on the SAME project - but that may just be me. :) Many of my scripts are turning out to be group efforts, where I'm integrating other people's changes. And um... not giving credit where it's due... is just wrong.
