There are many ways to Hive, you're right about that. It's not that I'm against reading personal blogs. There are certain kinds of blogs I cannot get behind. Everyone on Hive does what feels right to them, just like I try to do.
Also congrats on reaching your milestone. It may seem kind of worthless but as long as you're proud about it, it's worth mentioning it. Well done!
I guess I will continue to Hive, no choice. I didn't do a helluva lot of work to get to 10K, and then give up ...
