What does a reader do when he or she discovers a new (to them) resource of excellent commentary/analysis paired with fine and clear expository writing? He subscribes, of course. And then, approximately once a month, a dead-tree magazine arrives of varying length with 10 or 20 or 30 articles, and the reader has 30 days to read the articles that interest him, parse all that knowledge and assimilate it into his understanding, perhaps even actionable intelligence. All before the next issue arrives. Seems possible, even probable.
So what does a reader do when a new and interesting resource writes 5-10 new articles *per week* - and each article is important, insightful, packs a punch, is always helpful and often useful, and all are engagingly well-written?
Reading Scenarica has become, for me, akin to eating chocolate cake for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, and dessert. And in-between snacks. No matter how quickly I read, however, I fail to catch up; the author writes faster than I can read. Sigh. I suppose there are worse things in life than an abundance of chocolate cake. (Fortunately, I love chocolate cake!)
David, this genuinely made our day. The chocolate cake analogy is going in the internal motivation file. The volume is deliberate because we believe surface area matters at this stage, but hearing that the quality holds across it is the feedback that keeps the production discipline honest. Thank you for reading so carefully and for taking the time to say so.
