Same here. I would occasionally pop in, read few posts, sometimes
comments and even post a comment of my own.
The fact that TOP is very personal actually attracts me. Nowadays sites
of this kind are remote, faceless and mostly boring. This one is
certainly not.
Naturally, I am aware of differences between me and Mike in many
aspects, including climate and geography, and hence I would easily know
what to read and what to skip.

i like TOP; i'd say it's my favorite general photo blog, though i
haven't sought out many; while sites like dpreview have massive
technical rundowns, their comments/forums drone on and on; in
contrast, Mike curates TOP's comments pretty well
yes, TOP became heavy on the personal saga; but that is the beauty of
true blogs, they are by a real person; Mike is a good writer, and he
engages with his readers pretty successfully i think
i don't read every article, and i follow it via RSS so i rarely see
the ads; in addition to the articles by Ctein i enjoy the
photographers TOP highlights and occasionally the gear articles (which
are quite atypical for a photo site); i have even bought prints from
his very affordable print sales
i get a mix of photo news, from here, from TOP, from some of the photo
"magazines" on Flipboard, and from looking up topics myself; once in a
while this has led me to Luminous Landscape, but not often
