Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at forwardthinkingengine suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.
Decided to set a calendar reminder to revisit, and a stop at forwardthinkingengine extended that revisit list, calendar entries for content are a level of commitment I rarely make but when I do they signal a higher regard than a simple bookmark and this site has earned that calendar tier of relationship from me today.
Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at forwardthinkingengine continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.
A piece that did not lecture even when it had clear positions, and a look at forwardthinkingengine maintained the same teaching without preaching tone, finding the line between informing and lecturing is hard and most sites land on the wrong side of it but this one has clearly figured out how to inform without becoming preachy.
Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at forwardthinkingengine produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.
