The discussion forum for this site generates a lot of questions and commentary. As I said when I launched it, it’s a bit of an experiment. Although it may seem simple, there are a lot of subtle design decisions and magic-behind-the-scenes in hopes of improving the quality of discussion that takes place there. So far, it has mostly worked.
Later this week I’ll write an essay explaining everything, but because it’s full of Heisenberg effects, the essay won’t appear on this web site, it will only go out via email to email subscribers. You can subscribe here or at the bottom of any page on my site:
Don’t worry, you can unsubscribe at any time; every email I send includes a single-click unsubscribe link. I will never sell your email address. Subscribe by Friday to be sure to get the essay. Once again — the essay will not appear on the web and will be copyright so I’ll ask you not to forward the email around. It’s an exclusive benefit for email subscribers.
