Open thread tips and whatnot

I’m adding a new page for tips and open conversations.  Much has been occurring on my “about” page, and it doesn’t bother me, but as Kelly points out, it may be a bit confusing to new readers.  There are also a few things I think I should clarify/point out.

As far as staying on topic for each individual post.  I don’t really demand or necessarily want that.  Unlike many other websites, we aren’t constrained by a singular topic or issue.  The regulars here understand that most issues, be it the climate, politics, energy, or economics are all interrelated.

The way I view my role here may be a bit different than other bloggers.  I present perspectives, information, and topics.  If the readers here have other things on their minds, far be it from me to tell them they can’t express it here.  In this sense, I view this as our blog.  And, we’re diverse enough in our knowledge and experience to be able to adapt.

Lastly, I wanted to explain why and why I don’t post on some points some of you guys point out.  There are a few reasons.  One is, I may not be comfortable in my knowledge to say anything on the subject.  Another would be I may not have anything to add to the topic.  For instance, I often find points of interest at Steve’s  or at WUWT, but after the discussions at those sites, I’ve little to add.  And lastly, writing something interesting isn’t always as easy as it looks.  Sometimes, I get to trying to write something and properly expressing my thoughts just isn’t there.

At any rate, here’s a place to just say whatever and whatnot.  Enjoy!
