That's right. Different contexts serve different purposes. Ideally, I'd love the discussion about my post "Why I dislike micropayments, don’t mind charity, but have a better idea" to happen at my blog, but I don't really mind at all when people want to have that discussion in a more suitable forum. Still, if I had ads on my site--which I don't because I plan to benefit *because* of blogging, not *from* it--I'd be losing precious pageviews.
