Sometimes I think I ought to go back and fix things, rewrite whatever it is to reflect what I know now, but somehow it never gets done. Chalk it up to laziness, or maybe I'm just building a monument to my ignorance. Either way, there's not much out there and I don't really think about it a lot.

And if you do that, where do you stop? Do you *ever* stop? Are you trapped in a perpetual re-write hell from which there is no escape ever? Eeep! :P

Exactly--it is what it is at the time of writing. Doesn't mean you can't revisit the topic, but it will be a different story from the first one, and it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with either story. It is possible to overanalyze things. 8-)
