I only recently noticed that an experimental Continuing Conversation feature on EconTalk. It is like a comments section, but with the comments guided by questions from Amy Willis.
My reading of the first two continuing conversations is that they went well. When I started my economics blog, it was called Great Questions of Economics, and I ended every post with a discussion question. I stopped doing that, more out of laziness than anything else.
It would be amusing/humbling to have Willis-style questions after I wrote a blog post. “What was Kling saying when he wrote ____?” It would be even more amusing/humbling to read the answers.
I first started reading you at econlog back when you were the only blogger there. Back then you used to end every post w/a discussion question. And although I never wrote up my answers in a comment, I thought the questions were great. I frequently found myself thinking about how to answer them long after I’d read the post.
I don’t remember exactly when I noticed that they stopped coming. But when I realized it, I missed them.
Thanks, Arnold! I always loved your questions…
