You use LW as a dumping ground for whatever crosses your mind at the moment, and that is usually random and transient noise.

Thanks. What counts as noise and what as signal to you, and what do you mean by transient?

By "transient" I mean that you mention a topic once and then never show any interest in it again. By "noise" I mean random pieces of text which neither contain useful information nor are interesting.
