Should I copy my content from the Other Site to this one?
Does it make sense to copy my content from the Other Site to this one?

To be clear, I definitely don't want a straight dump of all the content.  I'm not even sure that some rule-based mechanism would be worthwhile... like "questions not closed, score +1 or higher".

But, for example, I have partially explored many of the subjects interesting to me through questions and answers on the other site.  If I were to use this site to continue that exploration, does it make most sense to:

 * Link to the C.SE question/answer that I'm building off of, similar to how I'd link to a Wikipedia article
 * Manually copy the content I originally posted to C.SE here, tailoring it accordingly (for example, if I want to copy an answer I wrote, I could write a new question for it here as well).
 * Ask for some sort of limited import.  Perhaps just my questions that have self-answers.

Personally I don't really want to link to the other site if I can avoid it, so I'd probably prefer my second option.  But do others have suggestions/best practices from other sites here?
