I love reading good advice columns. The ones that go deeper than a quick, flip answer. I expected that your column would be decent, just because I’ve read most of your other writings. But, yeah. Your advice is good. Honest, thorough. I think the “thorough” is important. You look at the problem from as many sides as possible. You admit when you don’t know something. You add humor. Really, you are doing an excellent job.
