What made this site spectacularly successful was a combination of thoroughness, honesty and sympathy. Too many people have forgotten about the third consideration, and the same people often forget about the first.

My comment was making allowance for some entertaining comments by others of a kind which I personally don't practice and for which lack I am frequently reprimanded. Close reading is something to value, as is generosity of spirit. Some lively characters have added greatly to the alertness of the forum. Censoriousness is something else. As you know Michael, I look forward to reading your crits.
