After the number of e-mails I received asking about the password I felt rather sheepish about the content of my post. :oops: It wasn't meant to seem special, in fact, I protected people FROM the post. Not the post from the people. I understand, Monica.

The main reason for this is that I would feel that I'd need to live up to the protected posts and write something suitably scandalous with lots of juicy cuss words.

I had the same reaction as Màili :lol: I thought it was for a certain circle that likely already had the password, and although I was curious, I felt with my mostly-lurker status I might have been seen as really nosy to ask for the password. Ah, heck, I'll be nosy :) Oh!

Food for thought, definitely. Perhaps simply adding a category (like "Of a More Personal Nature") and adding the "read more" link will be sufficient warning to readers without making anyone feel excluded, which was never my intention. :sad: Thank you, Saskia.

If we hadn't, I wouldn't have let my curiosity get the better of me (and would have felt excluded in a special, lovely place where I've previously felt very welcome...) I guess I don't see the purpose of posting more private stuff in that way on a blog. It feels like its just for a certain crowd to see and, if so, my instinctive thought was: why not just email it to them and not risk alienating the other blog readers? Nothing personal, its your choice, just my opinion. Since you've asked. :wink: Okay, you asked for reasons :-) I mailed you for the password after debating with myself whether to do so for ages, but I only did so because we’ve exchanged email in the past.

I wish the people who did e-mail would comment and explain their side. Why did they ask? Most of the people who asked for the password are not close acquaintances, some I didn't know were even stopping by. But then perhaps they were familiar with Laurie Gold's posts. Or maybe curiosity got the better of them. Alison was worried that she might come across as elitist with her pp post, although I felt she had valid reasons for protecting her comments from certain eyes. I'll continue to use pp on posts where having that extra step would make me feel better. The password won't change. For those of you who have it, you don't have to ask again. :grin: It’s very interesting to read the thoughts on this. I wish the people who did e-mail would comment and explain their side.
