I used to LOVE email. I am a keyboard babbler (obviously, as it is late, and I'm still just Eveready Bunny'n it away here). But I miss that world. And now, Steemit comes along, and blammo. The discussion has returned. Which is a good thing in my book. But sometimes maybe a pain to some people. Have to gauge it I guess.
But I fully agree, that is one thing I LOVE about this site. The interaction with others. And though making money is nice, though I'm still not there at any scale, the input and interaction is so much more important to me. When someone reads and likes what you spent a day creating, it is truly a joy. Much better than monetary reward. And if I can make them laugh or smile, even the better.
