Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at rivervendor reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.

Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at facelessfactory earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at lemonvendor did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.

Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at coralaisle extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.

Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at tiderack held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.
