Advice to writers


"You do not always have to exhaust a subject so much that you leave nothing to the reader. [At some point] it is not a matter of reading, but of thinking."
          ~ Montesquieu, The Spirit of the Laws, bk. 11, chap. 20

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
