It's a balance; it seems hokey but at the same time adding this personal touch can make Linux and OSS seem much more accessable. It's important since so many of us (sometimes unknowingly) are a bit techo-elitist which makes our favourite subjects seem intimidating.
On a related note: I think CLUE could provide an important collaboration environment for combined advocacy. An example would be letters to MP's and other gov't officials that have been composed by the community as opposed to individuals. Whether CLUE uses postnuke, geeklog, zope or whatever I think it should include forums and tools for just such collaborative letter writing campaigns.
