One of the most eloquent, moving and thought provoking writers the blogosphere has produced over the last few years is Bill Whittle. You'll see that he's over in my sidebar. He doesn't post often but when he does you'd better make sure you have some time to read because his posts are long and you won't want to stop.
Bill has just announced that he is going to become a regular poster. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that it's true. Frequent posting is a hard thing to keep up with. Just look at my post frequency. Like Bill, I always think that by the time I am ready to opine on something, I feel like someone else has already said it and said it better than I can. So where's the value add to me piling on? Unlike me, Bill is a prolific and thoughtful writer. His work connects with me, and a lot of other people on a very visceral level. As more than one person has put it (to paraphrase), "until Bill came along and said it, I thought I was alone in feeling it." Well no more. Bill's unique voice speaks for and to a lot of us.
