I didn't catch that as I try to glance back section by section
So point taken, but it does drive me nuts when the only focus is guys with pitchforks hoping for a "gotcha!" moment.

Long time CP reader and first time poster. Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you Bingo for the countless hours that you put into your game takes and stories. You are the first place I look to for an honest and insightful accounting of the game and the team. I'm certain that you have a number of silent fans of your work just like myself that have a great deal of appreciation for what you do. Thanks so much!

It doesn't have to be scholar level work but when you obviously didn't even read through it once before it went up I think it can be pointed out.

As someone who has written, edited and reviewed scholarly work, I disagree with this statement. The occasional typo and grammar issue is far less important to the clarity of a written article than content and logical flow (which Bingo generally has in abundance). Anything can be posted on the internet and it’s you who chose to read it. If time constraints prevent full review, I’d prefer that Bingo still post his interesting thoughts on a game than nothing at all. He’s volunteering his time and owes you nothing in terms of perfect spelling and grammatical polish.
