Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at floeiron continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at flankhaven reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.
If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at tealvendor extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at krillflume did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at marketpearl reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
