Exactly. Unless your blog is incredibly broad, you're probably writing about the same subject more than once. What is the author going to do when they write about short urls next time? /su2?

I don't see any problem with /su2. Or /su3.

On the other hand: limitations stimulate creativity.

You will get more creative in choosing titles.

I think I'd prefer it if you were creative with the content of your posts rather than your urls :) I mean, if you think there's no value in the content of the url whatsoever, then just start at /1 and work upwards...
