I assume few people read my LJ outside of my friends anyway, I've learned that if you make something public, there is a chance it'll get around. I made an off the cuff post about my response to Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog, never expecting anyone outside my f-list to read it, but I made it public because it wasn't saying anything terribly private. It drew several hundred comments from total strangers and was linked to many places outside of LJ. It blew me away.
I still make plenty of public posts, but I do so knowing any one of them could end up anywhere. It doesn't matter if I think it's a piffling nonsense post or not. You just never know what's going to catch someone's attention. My rule is if I don't want it showing up on boingboing, put it behind a f-lock.
