Makes Me Appreciate This Site

Wandered off to read some articles Ben linked. I don't think I finished any of them. Partway through the Starbux article, I'm thinking, I don't go to Starbux, I don't care about Starbux, I'm so uninterested, I'm not even amused watching them shoot themselves in the foot. Why am I reading this article? Closed tab.

Funny thing. When I go off to read the soft articles, analyses, opinions, at other sites, it really makes me appreciate this site, posters, and also quite importantly the commentariat. I really appreciate the debates, the informed opinions and clear argumentation that so many folks have here (when not drunk or fapping).

I believe the format, trying to stay conversational and concise in comments, also helps folks to focus on the point. If I'm five paragraphs into an article and I still don't know where the author's going, I start thinking about what comments on Ace I'm missing.
