I realized through this post that it's nice to quote your friends' work from time to time, since this tells people that (1) you take time to read other people's work and (2) you give support to a friend.
This also builds up your topic further, and thus adding cummulative value to a single post. Yey, nom nom nom, new tip unlocked. Thanks Alex!
you are correct, a good point I probably didn't touch upon quite enough, although I did quote other steemians a few times in this post alone! :)
