> > You keep talking about others benefitting from babblers knowlege etc, but this is BABBLERS knowledge(not yours). You thow it out there willy nilly w/o regard to babblers sense of safety and privacy. Like you own us. You own our words, our feelings that we trustingly put down. You don't ask, you TAKE, in the name of helping others, but not helping US at all.

> Several posters have mentioned that posts here have always been public and available for sharing, including on Facebook and Twitter when they came along. A dialectic of this community is that it is public, yet can feel private.*yes always been public, but not w/ads all over in every newspaper in the country....(analogy)
> Sharing and tweeting might lead Facebook and Twitter users to the many thoughtful and intelligent posts here, and then they might join Babble and contribute new perspectives and energy.*gymnasium vs fireside chat.....
What you may be forgetting, is that the DEPTH, the nature(content) of the posts will likely change due to it being so 'open' here...
BTW, if I ever, or somebody ever sets up a site, I would welcome you to join, for all that you piss me off in how you treat babble(BIG TIME), I DO find you rather entertaining ;-) Like a puzzle to try and solve or something?!
