As I said to sdi above, fair enough, and thanks very much for this feedback. "Audience capture" is a concept I've thought about quite a bit, and I try to strike the right balance between not succumbing to that and also not just sniffing my own farts, as it were. A tough balance!
As for substack, yeah, I've had some similar thoughts, but I've gotten some pretty strong nudges through intuition, meditation, prayer, and so forth that I need to strive to weave together my various weird threads (wait till I get back to posting on Old School D&D!), which is another reason I've avoided it.
I've also worried a bit that the convenience of posting here is eating into email subscribers, but my current hosting solution doesn't really handle comments (a Github static site, which won't run any javascript of any kind), so having a nice, (fairly) easy way to let folks comment has won out. I've arrived at that for a few reasons (ease of set up and administration, hardening against degradation of the internet, and so forth), but I do sometimes look enviously upon the substackers I enjoy and think "why don't I just do that?"
At any rate, once again, thanks very much for your feedback, even if it's not exactly what my over-inflated Ego might most hope for ("all your writing is great, thanks for reminding me!").
