New York Times Front Page Test

Here's one way to judge whether to do something or not.   If one wouldn't want the the activity, written document, or action to be published on the front page of the New York Times, then don't do it.  If publishing it wouldn't bother one, then it's OK to do.

I like this criteria.  It's easy to understand and easy to use.
