I haven't been, and I basically consider a message board with individual people I interact with on a regular basis, like you, to be not dissimilar to shooting the #### at a bar. It's precisely the
opposite of trying to project myself as some sort of public intellectual who should be given attention or whose opinions should be of elevated importance. I also have no personal brand or public persona attached to anything I say, I'm basically anonymous. I don't want any spotlight to be pointed my way. It's completely different.
