I've said all this before, but I think it is worth repeating: 1. Sometimes the process of writing reveals, while I write, the answer to questions that I have been wondering about.
2. More commonly, writing "primes the subconscious pump". I am willing to wander around the engineering landscape because I know that the answers will appear as if by magic later on. 3. The posts keep Leo's core developer up to speed. Other reasons are less important: 4. The posts are a more permanent record of my thoughts. I really don't care much about this. It's not like future historians are going to care either :-) Otoh, sometimes knowing that I *could* access the information if I wanted to allows me to *forget it*. This is important for moving on to new directions. 5. Sometimes I use posts as prewriting for documentation, but this doesn't happen so often for EKR posts.
