Thurrott's commenters are amazing...by Taylor Stapleton

I'm not sure if this is worthy of a blog post or not. To be on the safe side though, I better get this down in ink. I was browsing around the internet today and stumbled upon www.thurrott.com. I don't know much about the site except that I assume the Thurrott in question is Paul Thurrott. Paul is someone I only know to be an intelligent and respected technology journalist. In my mind he is commonly associated with Microsoft and the TWIT crowd as well (not sure why, too lazy to research). Ok, enough blabber and on to the point.

So I'm reading a post on this site and then move on to the comments section for some heated juice. But heated juice is not what I found! The comments were..... constructive. They were valuable. People who wrote the comments took time to think about what they were writing. They included proper spelling, punctuation, well-formed ideas, and even facts to back up arguments! I was just so astounded by this paradise of intellectual comments that I feel like I have to tell someone. In the image are some examples of one of the first well-founded, respectable comment debates I have ever seen on the internet. This will definitely be a site I pay attention to in the future.
