How often do you self-censor your posts?
I often start out writing a reply and then delete it. Only 1 in 2 of my intended replies actually makes it. What about everyone else?

4. Rarely. If somebody doesn't like it then they don't have to read
or they can put me on ignore.

8. Most of the time.
Geez, I delete most of my posts.

I think I'm averaging well below one per day. :blush: Heck, I'm shy, even after all these years.
