I'm not striving for anything close to perfection. I get queasy just looking at my past blogs and seeing how much I left out, how much I compromised my standards.

I've learned that posting partial information can be quite disastrous. Not only is the information often misconstrued (or simply not understood in its wider context), but researchers see the germ of the idea and go running off to find the missing parts when I already have it sitting on my hard drive. This creates a great deal of duplicated effort and sometimes even backlash when I say I already have that and they say, "Oh yeah? If you have it why didn't you post it?"

Maybe that's why I have such a huge backlog. It's largely because I don't have sufficient time to finish up the details and find all the links, but it's also because I'd actually rather not post than post it incomplete because of unpleasant experiences in the past.

I can understand that. It is just that we hear you say you have scads of research you haven't posted and we wanna see it :

I dont think duplication of effort is necessarily bad, someone might make a tangential connection that leads to new considerations and directions for more research, or find that one elusive precursor to a certain image.
