X-posting
You may or may not have noticed that I have started cross-posting a subset of the WoHC Log to Livejournal. There are a lot of people who simply refuse to read or comment on a post that isn't on Lj. Some of these people are my friends. I guess that's why I have gaim set up for four different accounts on four different instant messaging protocols (jabber/icq/aim/yahoo).
Some topics will not be cross-posted. In general, the more geeky a subject is, the less likely it is to be cross-posted.
