Resurrecting past interests, and at what price?

I’ve started tracking down some of my Mormon feminist writings from the 1990s (published in Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Mormon Women’s Forum, etc.), and I guess now the question is — what do I do with them? The Dialogue article in particular is quite long; some articles are PDFs and I don’t know how to deal with that format on this site (yet); and publishing any of them here, or even linking them, means… giving up my comfortable semi-anonymity.
I’m pretty close to being ready to give up the anonymity, lingering paranoia over the “no-fly list” notwithstanding. I suppose, however, that I could start a website with my own name for those kinds of things. Hmm.
Then there’s the whole issue of posting new content, or revised content, about Mormon feminism. Do I really want to get into that again? The thought makes reason stare, but I’m not sure exactly what reason is staring at. My perspective on Mormonism has changed dramatically since those early internet.lds and mormon-L and even elwc days, but that doesn’t make me any less an expert (or former expert, assuming there’s some kind of statute of limitations on theological musings). I have been presenting myself as an expert on Mormonism over at DailyKos….
(This scarcely qualifies as a blog post. It was going to be longer, but I got distracted a number of times. Fine, it’s another “stub,” and sorry about that. I reserve the right to return to this topic at a more convenient moment.)
