I also watch out for preachiness or a sense of know-it-all-ism. I delete them ASAP.
Many times I'll write something. Sometimes taking a half hour only to push delete because I realize it doesn't add a thing to the conversation or may be taken the wrong way. I give it a little wait and see period. I'll always reread, edit and hopefully shorten. I try to put the funny word as the last word.
I think the OP is asking for proof-joking, sort of like proof-reading. That's all.

AHA! tomwed, I saw that little self-talk you put at the bottom so I threw a net over you -- well over this post of yours -- because I like it. It is not preachy or know-it-all-y. I think it is insightful.
