		<description>I never really thought of it that way.  I have never owned a forum so I guess I had not put much thought into it.  You make a very good point though.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Reena&lt;/strong&gt; - It&#039;s great that you recognise the importance of your members&#039; opinions; so many people fail to do so. I agree with your suggestion that a blog owner should merely initiate and steer debate rather than control it.

&lt;strong&gt;Hirsutism&lt;/strong&gt; - I couldn&#039;t agree more. A forum owner should always be looking to initiate and encourage discussion and interaction.</description>

		<description>Very nice post. And very truly said that opinion of the members matter more than your own. I think to basic job of the forum owner is to initiate discussions that help and increase the knowledge of the other members and make them actively participate in the discussions.</description>

		<description>I agree that your member&#039;s opinions matter more than yours. I thing the job of the blog owner is to initiate debate, steer the members towards a healthy argument and then contribute to the ensuing conversation. And also set the tone yourself, if you are friendly and approachable, your members will follow suit.</description>
