blackwasp19, that's a great point--size can be an idol whether we're idolizing big numbers or small ones. The quality of the Christian community is what counts, not the size of the community. 

I think your point applies to the practice of blogging, too (at least for me). By recognizing that numbers don't always mean what they seem to mean, I'm more readily able to put them aside, give them less cred, and just focus on the quality of the content.
