PAY IT BACKWARD
I've had this situation happen a couple of times before, but only once did I actually fess up to the deed.
Have you ever begun a comment at someone's post, innocuous at first, and then the muse kicks in and you find yourself framming out your best stuff? And then you say Hey! Fuck that! That's a post!
And of course you can then just go post it, and hope no one catches the fact you are regifting your own words to yourself. But: I once actually asked someone to pull a comment, as I had reconsidered, and felt it was far more worthy than their comment section, and deserved its own little showcase.
Every time I recall that, I think Man, you are such an asshole.
You are a better person than me. I either stop the comment, or just finish it and go on to post on it.

I have turned comments into posts before, but I link back to whoever's blog so my readers can see it evolve in context.
Posted by: Bane at May 4, 2005 8:25 PMI think every other time I link someone else's post my content started out as a comment (that I -of course- opted NOT to leave).
That's what control/x is for.
Still.... the Velociconscience is purged and this is all we get? Or are you just breaking us in slowly?

Posted by: Bane at May 4, 2005 10:23 PMGood good. Cathartic answers are good;-)
