Will You Help Me Out? Take the Year-End Readers’ Survey…

2017 Readers Survey

I would like to ask for your help, and all it will take is 5 minutes of your time. Would you mind lending a hand?

I have prepared a survey I’d love for you to fill out. The survey, which is anonymous, will help me better understand what kinds of articles and content you prefer as well as what kinds may annoy you. It will help shape what I do in the future and guide me as I consider adding new features.

Can I ask you to consider filling it out? It should take no more than a few minutes of your time. Thanks in advance!

    What Does It Mean to Be Discerning?

    Though I have heard it said of others, I have never had anyone tell me that I am a man of discerning tastes. I do not have a discerning palate or a discerning sense of style. I can, however, contentedly live without these if only I can have a discerning mind and a discerning spirit.
