Conversation Blogging Is Still Too Hard

Tris Hussey links to a post by Amy Gahran pointing out that Blogging really isn't mainstream enough yet.  Amy says that email discussion lists and forums are easier for new or non-technical users to pick up and start using.  Is it possible to make conversational blogging easy enough for these users, or are we forever doomed to a world where blogging is dominated by the technically savy?
