The reason I like and read this blog though, is because it’s aimed at the expert level user. Yes a lot of it goes over my head or is irrelevant, but the stuff that isn’t, I find very useful. The Internet and bookshops are full of material aimed at the basic/intermediate user – however I’ve found very little like this blog that’s targeted at a higher level.

Sure it’s a niche market but isn’t that what Internet blogs are a classic solution for?
