@Juliet I'd like to point out that many people have far less answers that I do, but have near as much rep than me. Meaning that I put more effort per-reputation-point than them, making me not a repwhore. :)
chacha, at the very least, you already have lots of good things to look forward too :) the fact you even know of the existence of SO and have a good rep puts you way above most of the people I work with
yeah i would never have known you were 16, you appear very mature. or maybe i have a bad view on teenagers because i used to play world of warcraft. :)
@Juliet It is like StackOverflow. Every edit on there is tracked and public so people are held responsible
There are some really cool features about saving stuff
like I can @reply someone, and when they come on they can see it

Like Marc, the Chat Developer, looks at the history of the Chat Feedback room so he can see if anyone came up with some good feature requests or bad bugs
there are also people who are open about their sexual orientations or gender identifies, and would prefer not to have that sort of information indexed for an employer

We were recently frozen in a chat room for being too off topic, and because I suggested it. (Oops) I do think it is a good idea overall, but it needs some work.
The feature is intended to get discussion going back in the right direction, which is why it was used here. A few people began talkin...
even normal things I say, like talking about recipes and hair care and shopping --- I don't want that sort of information archived, I don't want that information shared to the world unless I choose to share it
Two reasons.
First, the principle of public-by-default has been bedrock for everything we have done, from the start.
We made a mistake with this on Careers, where the CVs were initially private-only, and we had to backpedal and fix that, offering free public CVs to anyone who wants one.
