    Nice one! I can’t say I’ve noticed the smell in Helsinki, but maybe I’m just too used to it.

    I really enjoyed the format, although at first I thought it was written 20 years ago. Nevertheless, I’ll take good content over appearances any day!

      Thanks!
      
      The whitespace structure was inspired by programming, where
          with extremely few exceptions, there is always one statement per line.
      It makes the code way easier to read and edit.
      It had occurred to me that 
          the only reason we don't do the same thing in English is because it wastes paper.
      But I'm like "What paper?".
      Editing is much easier, since
          the major plaintext editors,
              being designed for programming,
          have very good support for linewise editing.
      It is extremely awesome for nuking and reordering sentences.
      Sentence structure of long sentences can also be made more clear
          with some tactical line breaks and indentation.
