In response to "The thing is, people already *can* link to ST posts on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else. What's the point to objecting to a button? -- nm" by mara

it encourages doing so, makes it easier, gives less time to think if it's desired.

if someone wants to invite a friend or family member that they think would fit-in here, sure; but more openings into a general audience is not that.

we are pretty well isolated from general viewing for a public board, and I would be terribly uncomfortable here if I thought otherwise.

(I know there are a number of people who would be pleased if I went away permanently, but I think/hope there are a few for whom that wouldn't be desired.)

(note, not threatening to leave, it would be what it would be -- if most people want the broadening, I'd have to accept it and deal.)

I don't dismiss the overall sentiment, but don't google any popular ST catchphrases if you think we're "pretty well isolated from general viewing." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 12:57 2
- those catch phrases need to be googled, though. it's a totally public site, and of course can be found; but it's not going to be at the top of hits - b. Jun 17, 12:58 1
