Now that I have, I gather you were being facetious.
However, I was impressed with the number and length of some of these logs, and marvel at the effort people go through to do this. For my part, my tours are recorded in my memory, and whatever doesn't stick doesn't matter to me.
Some people enjoy writing.
I am very thankful for the journals I kept during two long backpacking trips. While it's that your memory will retain a lot of it, your memory will eventually fade. I enjoy being able to sit down on a cold winter's day and relive the past through journals that were written when the memories were fresh.
Online journals are a great source of information to those who are planning trips.
