Interesting but I'm not entirely sure what his/her point is. "More courteous to describe than to criticize," sure, but then, also less useful and less of anything.

Personally I had a web site through the late 90's, into the early 2000's, followed by a blog for about 5 years. Eventually I shut down the blog as I got tired of it, and now I've gone back to a set of static web pages; the old classic style. Not because I'm nostalgic for it, but because it's actually a good, personal, relatable format.

When people see my home page, they see a nice set of information relevant to me, what I do, and what interests me. With all the disjoint services now available on the web, my home page serves as a hub to link them together.

I don't see anything altogether interesting about this fact, it just works. Maybe I didn't understand the article very well. But then, that's understandable.

"Those who write clearly have readers, those who write obscurely have commentators."

- Albert Camus


Camus of course falls into the latter category.

"A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl."

-Ernest Hemingway


Oh we're having a quote smackdown, are we?

"If you're going to say something, bloody say it."

quote smackdown or quote snackdown?

“It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.”

-Julia Child
