But can I ask? was there a posting here? for some reason I can just see the comments - but cant see what they're responding to? However I also think a variety of events building a little critical mass would be good, but all with a similar remit - to enhance bham online innovation and collaboration or something.

However I also think a variety of events building a little critical mass would be good, but all with a similar remit – to enhance bham online innovation and collaboration or something.

I found myself feeling a touch defensive about Charlotte\'s comments - but with no justification. I wasn\'t being got it. I think from the beginning I knew I would most enjoy the bloggers group if we ran it collaboratively - and that is also our most likely route to widening involvement.
