>>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.

I suppose some people post their own thoughts solely to draw attention to themselves, but in my experience, that's the exception, rather than the rule.
Most 'vanities' I see on FR, are genuinely thoughtful postings, and are generally good food for thought and discussion. It's kind of why I abhor the term, 'Vanity'.
