Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at harborstonevendorparlor reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.
Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at hopperjaguar extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.
A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at cynbeo maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.
A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at daisybaron added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at idaoat reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.
