Kos should NEVER have published that bit about how the DNC is reading the Kos Diaries, which are now the heart and soul of the new format. Now the world and his wife are writing long pieces in the Diaries, and they're all getting bumped fast. So thoughtful Diary entries are now inevitably treated like the ephemera of Open Threads. Uh-oh--these are some unintended consequences. Maybe the best thing would be to expand the Diary format for a number of different Diary categories. Is that possible? But the current flood of Diary entries is untenable. Watcha gonna do, Kos? Everyone wants the DNC to read his or her this or that. Can the Diaries be expanded?
