I often reply to emails and later think to myself: "hey, this
might be of interest to a wider audience". If you ever wish to
ask me a question or hold a discussion about general life issues
and have it published here without any identifying information,
please contact me.
The publication can include the names of the people involved, or
it can be anonymous with potentially personally identifying
information edited out of the text---whatever you prefer.
