To Reprint or Not?

Reacting to the loss of HandHeldCrime's archives, Ray Banks writes:

And now I'm kind of at a loss. Seeing as it's gone, there's no valid link to [Banks's story] 'The Monkey Man'. And seeing as that story makes me shudder now, I'm not that inclined to post it here. So maybe it's best I leave it to the ether.

An excerpt of my comment:

I can relate to the cringe looking back at previous work, but IMO, if one editor liked it, others might--as might readers. The only pieces that really embarrass me are very early, when I thought rewriting was make-work.
