They’re my thoughts, and you really shouldn’t care about them. I post here for my own benefit. You’d be surprised how writing out your thoughts helps clarify them. So, pay attention to whatever it pleases you to pay attention to. I really don’t care.

**Surgoshan** , I sometimes work out my thoughts the same way. All my mistakes _and_ the things I get right are there for everyone to see.

And it can be ugly. 🙂
