@akkartik @aynish I don't really feel any difference between publish and post, when talking about public places. Replace every occurrence of publish in my messages with post, the meaning will not change.

Are you saying these two are different? What's the difference?

@bouncepaw @aynish I was trying to understand how important it is to you. If it's important, keep a list of everything you post. If it's slightly important, keep a list of sites where you post. If it's not important, write and forget. But if the purpose of writing is to be read by some audience you care about, I'd never limit where I write.

I'm a packrat, record everything I type. Shell commands, chat, emails, notes, docs. But even I make utterances that don't constitute losing part of myself.

@akkartik @aynish oh, keeping a list of everything I post is basically impossible and not worth it IMHO, I always wonder how you do it. I should make a list of the sites, right. I always talk about limiting the number, but I have no idea of what the number is.

Well, the best audience is the focused audience! If I write in 30 places, I won't have much of an audience. I also love internet points.

@bouncepaw @aynish I still think your priorities are misplaced. Many of the places I write in have the same people. Sometimes I talk to my wife in the park, sometimes I talk to my wife in the home, sometimes in a new diner far from home. It makes no sense to limit _where_ I talk or discuss or debate. It's where the conversation is happening! If I want to participate I have to talk there!

@akkartik @aynish Maybe you're right. I'll think about it. Maybe we'll see a spark of Bouncepaw projections in many places.
