A Freeing Experience

 I think posting papers online is a great way to get people to open up. I also found myself writing in a less 'formulaic' style and after I had posted my paper I asked myself why had I done that? Not that I regretted it at all, in fact it felt somewhat freeing to write (I suppose) more conversationally, but I am curious as to why many of us chose to write less formally than we had in the past? I definitely agree with spleenfiend that the ability to add images, links, etc. opened up many possibilities for us as writers (and for those readers out there too). Did anyone else find themselves questioning their reasons for writing this paper the way they did? I'm curious to see if anyone has different thoughts on this!
