Ahh, it seems like only yesterday people would add “(Vanity)” or even better “(Shameless Vanity)” on titles of Vanity posts.

I've always considered that to be a self invalidating practice, and have never labeled any of my self generated threads that way.

I've never agreed that it's vain to post your own compositions on any discussion site. Free Republic is the only place I know of, that considers its users vain for posting their own thoughts.

Well, it is a bit vain to post something just to draw attention to onesself.

But I supposed a “(IMHO)” would accomplish the same thing.

Every response on a thread is someone posting their thoughts. The question is, why do some people think their ordinary thoughts, which could be shared on one of many threads about a subject, worthy of their own thread? That's where the vanity comes in.
