>>With  all dues respect I find this attitude naive. Journals like the 
Journal
of  Halacha and Contemporary Society, R. Bleich's halacha articles in
Tradition  etc and volumes in Hebrew like Techumim quickly bring sensitive
issues in  shutim to the greater public. ...
Similarly responsible rabbis realize that  something said to
individuals or a small
group can easily spread if it  controversial enough. As the gemara says even
the birds can bring the  stories. <<

Koheles 10:20.  "Bemada'acha [even in your thoughts] melech al  tekallel, 
uvechadrei mishkavcha al tekallel ashir -- ki ohf hashamayim yolich es  
hakol, uva'al kenafayim yagid davar."  A bird will carry your secrets far  and 
wide --  the walls have ears.
 
HOWEVER I do not think this applies to the question of what is the best  
forum for publishing halachic discourse.  After all, even if a given psak  is 
only meant for a particular individual or a small group, it is not going to  
be a hush-hush secret!!
 
Koheles is talking more about expressing negative thoughts and feelings  
against people in positions of power who could cause you a lot  of harm if 
they found out that you wish them ill.
