A question to all my friends: do you think this is a good idea?

I am thinking of starting two other blogs or communities, one about comics, and the other about my own research. I have a feeling that my LJ ends up being rather like a fruit salad, and what is more, those are the two subjects in which I have an almost-professional interest. Please comment.

I wonder whether we understand each other about "Indo-European". I am interested in the cultures, and in the prehistory in so far as it can be discovered, of the group of peoples who share a common linguistic and cultural origin and are defined as "Indo-European", which include Germanic, Romance, Greek, Slavonic, Albanian, Armenian, Iranic, and Indo-Aryan language groups, plus a number of dead ones. The research this involves begins with comparative mythology and religion (which is why I know a bit more about the Indian epics than the average Western person, though not nearly enough), and would have fairly little to do with Indian history proper - at least no more than with Roman, Greek and other groups.

Yes, I did get that. Having read your journal for the last few months, I deciphered that at least to a minute extent, and my answer in the previous comment doesn't change. =) I'm still very interested.

If that sounded patronizing, I apologize.
