Someone asked about discretion
dis·cre·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d-skrshn)
n.
The quality of being discreet; circumspection. See Synonyms at prudence.
Ability or power to decide responsibly.
Freedom to act or judge on one's own: All the decisions were left to our discretion.
(From an online dictionary)
I think that discretion mean being selective in a number of ways. Selective about the organization that you are interested in. Selective about the people that you share information of you interest with. Selective about the ways in which you display your interest and so on. I think that this definition is in keeping with the way that the term is generally defined.
My definition of discretion would generally have me not answering any of these questions. But, heck, this is fun.
