This site is mostly a way for me to clarify my own thoughts, since writing things down forces a person to make something cohesive out of attitudes and impressions that often rule our approaches to things, without being firm enough to deserve such influence.  Sharing the result exposes the writer to the attitudes and impressions of others, and occasionally the clarified thoughts that result.

If you find a clarified thought of your own from reading here, feel free to post it as a comment.
