deletions

[darkoshi]

Deleting one's old posts which seem insignificant is a bad idea. The seeming significance of various entries varies over time, and perhaps based on one's mood. Better to tag them with some unique value, if you want to be able to filter them out for whatever reason. Or better to make them private. That's easier to reverse, if you later change your mind.

I rarely ever completely delete things I've written - I keep copies on my computer. But in the past, I deleted various entries from LJ, which in looking at them now, I don't understand why I deleted them and wish I hadn't.
