(Oh jeez, somehow I didn’t see this thread until now. I try to read everything, but if I miss a day or two, Discourse will sometimes fail to show me completely new topics in the “New & Unread Topics” list at the bottom of each topic, which is how I generally work my way through. The Unseen link on the main page works perfectly, but I have to remember to look at that every so often to see what might have slipped past me.)
Thanks so much for the kind words! I imagine that I’m not alone in wishing I could write more engagingly or more concisely, so I do appreciate hearing that I may be more critical of my writing than most people reading it.
