Comments

It takes me hours to write each essay. I often develop them over several months, but usually I mull them over for at least 3 or 4 weeks. So before you comment remember:

"Study is like the heaven's glorious sun, that will not be deep-search'd with saucy looks."

• Read carefully, follow up the references and links; which takes time.
• Think about the issue and what I've said about it, which takes more time.
• Form an opinion, and take your time to write about it as clearly as you can. 
• If you disagree then take time to say with which bit, and why.
• Stay on topic!
• Don't use unfamiliar jargon. 

If your only contribution is to recommend I read a book you like, then don't.
