    Where is list #15, you probably are not asking? It was a post on working at home, and I pulled it at the last minute. Here are five reasons why:

    1. It revealed my weaknesses.

    2. I changed my mind about some things in the time that passed between writing the post and it going live.

    3. Why give free advice to my competitors?

    4. I really don't have it figured out, even after ten or twelve years.

    5. The advice was too specific to me in particular.

    I'll rewrite it sometime.
