Discovered it back in 2001 when he first reviewed Argentus (issue 1). Actually, I may have known about it even earlier than that when I found a Windycon report on it.
"He writes like he talks?" Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?
(Do I write like I talk?)
Anyway, yeah, I've known about Tom's site for some time. If I gave the question any thought at all, I probably presumed billroper knew about it before I did.
For that matter, I write like I talk. It's not a bad thing, it's just a thing-to-note thing. Tom is very very dry and slow and involved when he talks, and his writing comes across in the same manner. His stuff in print usually is very deep, so it's not a *bad* thing. Sometimes, I tend to talk more quickly and off the cuff, and when I write like that, it doesn't come off as being nearly so thoughtful, irregardless of what brain-crunching has gone on before. It seems less like considered fact and more like breezily stated opinion.
