and I for one have done so in a couple comment sections somewhere

I see no problem with this - after all we publish our work so it may  
be discussed, critiqued and extended - public.

The nature of scholarship and dissemination shifts in internet- 
mediated spaces - we know this "in theory" as internet researcher -  
and yet we are so surprised we cant control how it shifts.
