Anyway, the thing which you have done which I almost never do is share this information. To me it is a pretty private thing (they are largely private things).

Do you think I am making a mistake in publishing it?

Perhaps your "mistakes" file is only a partial listing?

It is, actually. I keep the personal mistakes in a separate file. (I don't have any issues with revealing intellectual mistakes, mistakes of thought and belief - I have managed to keep my identity small but I do have a problem revealing actions.)

I thought I explicitly mentioned this, but checking, I see I only have

nor mistakes in my personal life

where I thought I had a parenthetical comment '(which go into a separate private file)'. Guess I should fix that...
