I disagree. Nobody cares about your blog … until they do. You might think everything you ever said could trivially be published on the front page of the New York Times, and yet, a journalist courting a well-placed source, who happens to not like you and is in the habit of working with journalists, might find bits in there, over time, to use against you.

Your very future, responsible for hundreds of employees, 2 kids, a spouse, and significant economic or national responsibilities.
