When I created an account just to publish my question, it did not publish it. When I need a link, I do copy-paste, most of the time, which is really convenient. I am sure that a dedicated site for forums has more convenient functionalities as well. Not to mention the simplicity of having a mailing list, which will likely survive any private interest. |
