Another reason to write

To learn and figure out your opinion about things, to expose what you think about a given topic, to justify and explain your point of view, and to tell others why you think you are right.

I was thinking of relatives and friends to whom I may want to explain specific things—technical, factual, or conceptual—and how an online essay about it, a "one-pager," could be consumed individually by multiple people.

In the end, the point of any write-up is to spread an idea and have others reflect on it.

A web link becomes a shortcut to a brief explanation, as I did last week explaining how I date my sketches.¹
