This is why it’s strongly recommended to try out an article idea on the Open Thread first.
You owe it to your readers to have clearly organized and well-explained thoughts before writing a top-level post, and the best way to get there is to discuss your ideas with veterans first. If you say in advance that you want to write a top-level post, we’ll respect that; I’ve never seen anyone here poach a post idea (though of course others may want to write their own ideas on the topic).
Oh yes, I agree. I was just making a note of that since otherwise, given your observation, people will not poach my ideas; I would thus be decreasing the amount of good Lw posts by naming them!

People are welcome to poach my ideas, as I have more of them than time to write.
Right; I meant that people don’t do so without permission.
