Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at elfincamel confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.

A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at baroncanyon carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.

Now considering the post as evidence that careful blog writing is still possible, and a look at canyonclover extended that evidence, the broader question of whether the modern web can sustain quality writing has obvious empirical answers in sites like this one and seeing them is reassuring even when they remain a minority overall today.

Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at baroncanyon did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.
