I don’t know how you’re such a wealth of knowledge, but I think you should know how much your posts over the last few years (especially anything COVID or politically related) have been appreciated.
Any time sensationalism or fear mongering raise their ugly heads, you manage to come in calm, with straightforward, factual information that cuts it off at the knees. That’s pretty cool.
