My compass is broken?

I wrote something to post, but didn’t post it. Here’s what I wrote instead…
Typing into a computer is somewhere between writing and thinking. Hitting a submit or send button is like accepting the thought and moving along, changing subject or whatnot. The idea still exists, easily revisited by re-reading the post or e-mail. Thoughts however don’t stop at the thinking (at least in my view) – rather they ripple outward, much like a post or e-mail which seem to be even more impacting. You can easily forget the thought you thought until one day it rears its ugly (or beautiful) head. Does a compass work on the equator?
