OK, I’m fascinated by the idea of online communities in general and I’m curious if any Dopers have participated in The Well. How would you compare it to the SDMB? I don’t think I’ve ever seen The Well mentioned in an SDMB thread, which kind of surprises me (should it?).

I confess I don’t know much about the Well in any case except for anecdotal info. Enlightenment appreciated.
