Aesthetics

I don't like the way it looks when I make two posts on a single day. It looks bad.

The posts run into each other and you read one and then you read the other and you can't distinguish that they aren't actually connected and so it reads stupid. I don't like it.

So now whenever I have two posts on a single day I am forced to take one of the posts and put it on one of the previous days where there wasn't already a post. I feel like I'm lying. But what can I do? And it doesn't really matter - its not like my posts are related at all to time. Like Proust :P

But besides, it gives incentive to the reader to actually go back in the history and read the past. And who knows, maybe that already begotten day to which I'm posting on is actually the day where the mental construct formed in my mind, and that it was only later that it manifest itself in the intelligible form of a written paragraph or two. Stranger things have happened.

Anyways, I am convinced that if I use this technique it will correct what I believe to be an annoying feature. But I'm worried what will happen if my posts exceed 365. I may someday be posting before my birth.
