Bad reasoning, sorry. Infact saying it in public may be a form of riya depending on your intention e.g. if you're doing it so people think that you are someone who does istighfar and thus give you some respect or acknowledgment, then that may be a form of riya, which actually adds on to your sin rather than disipates it :S. That is why, if I am not mistaken, it is reported in hadith that Prophet Muhammad PBUH said that he feared this thing more upon the ummah than the dajal (CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG)

brother

I don't know what the OP intended but when I see it, I don't take it as an invitation to say

here in the form of a post. Each time I see this post title, I am reminded to say

even if I don't always post here.

The title itself is an excellent reminder for us all and the way to 'bump' it is to comment and why not say

instead of 'bump'? Also, I may be wrong but, saying

alone is not sufficient, it must come from the heart first, before it hits the lips (or finger tips in this case). Since no one knows what is in the heart of the person saying it (what they are asking forgiveness for), I don't think it would be riya - especially if the person's intention is to remind others of the importance of asking for forgiveness.

May Allah (SWT) forgive me if I have erred here.

And Allah (SWT) knows best.
