I agree that there is a lot of interesting stuff buried there somewhere. 
  But I don't think posting in a public group is the best way when it's 
still just ideas going around in your head.  You need something a bit 
more concrete - either something new to show people, or questions to 
ask, in order to capture interest.  "I'm thinking about this... or 
that... or maybe this..." doesn't make as good a thread.

On the other side, big lumps of code are also not so good in threads as 
they are too much - I believe (and I'm extrapolating a lot here from 
myself, so I could be wildly wrong) that posts that are too big will 
simply be glossed over.  Posting a link to a separate page/project/blog 
and adding a summary in the post will make it easier for those 
interested to study the matter when they have time.  Discussion posts 
are viewed as too fleeting for that.

But don't stop posting, whatever you do!

That's exactly the image I was going for!
