I noticed that I had quite a few posts in Draft recently, turns out that from when I started the blog in 2008 until today there are around three hundred posts sitting around unposted. Some of these are just a couple of notes, an idea for a post, others are posts I never got around to putting up because I was writing several posts the same day or in the same week. Some seemed too controversial or I perhaps felt I'd been too controversial for a while and decided to hold off on the post. In a lot of cases I never got around to finishing or editing or perhaps I just forgot about it altogether, a few were turned into a post under another title.
