For the purpose of assessing Internet utility, consumption is a better indicator 
than publication.

I understood this thread to be discussing utility.

Publication without consumption has zero utility.  So does consumption without 
publication, of course, but if there is a community wishing to consume, there 
will almost certainly come to be a community doing the publication.

In contrast we've had ample demonstration that that publication does not have 
any automatic implication about consumption.
