I would like to salute you. I read your Essay and Bonus Bytes section and there is one big factor I have noticed.
The posts you present are the best of the best, and more importantly, you do so NO MATTER WHICH SIDE OF THE FENCE THEY ARE ON. It evens seems as if you make an attempt to evenly present both.
Many people would just select articles which supported their own views. I think you should be heartily congratulated on this. HUZZAHHHHHH !
Thanks for your kind words. I am always looking for a well reasoned and written essay, rather than the point of view. I don't dismiss the point of view because often both sides make valid points, but I try to be fair and I appreciate your having noticed.
