Isn't that kind of what you just did? You had your reasons for doing it, and
that's fine, but I'm not sure I follow the logic here. What's the difference
among:
- keeping something to yourself exclusively
- telling a close circle of friends
- posting to a group that hopefully only people you want to target follow.
These are all the same in kind, just differ in degree of secrecy. Again, I
don't think there is anything WRONG with not broadcasting to the world but do
put your cards on the table when you restrict flow, hmm?
