Putting it all out there

 I think it's great to post papers online.  When Paul Grobstein visited our class last week, he talked about how "chatter" is what gets things going.  If you submit a paper just to your professor, there's no room for chatter between anyone but you and the professor, and that probably isn't a good thing.  You need more ideas.  Posting a paper online grants access to anyone who cares to read what you've written, and that may be a bigger audience than you think.  Personally, I like people reading my writing and giving me criticism on it, so why not open that up for more?  To me, this is a personal preference, but thinking about the discussion of chatter was what set it off-if you're open to it, why not allow for more chatter by posting your paper online?
