As a teacher I interact with 150 students a day! Plus staff etc.
How meaningful those interactions are is debatable.
Some could be life changing? Most I suspect are just operational.
Who knows which is which?
Having met you in person @kevinwong and having no clue who you were or what you did at the time.
My initial assessment of you was; that you were a very nice friendly decent chap.
We met at steemfest2 sitting on a wall at a drinks thing in case you forgot. :)
Since our meeting I have discovered that you are not only smart but very generous too.
Definitely not a prick!
You are on my steemvote because I know you always produce thoughtful blogs.
No one expects you to respond to every comment. That would be intolerable. Your plans outlined above make perfect sense.
Give yourself a break and do what feels right for you.
