Nicely written, and with great self control, I'm sure! I signed up about the same time and have been contributing what I think is pretty good material, only to find much of the time, NO ONE even views them. My only friends are bots!!! Friends that I have to pay for :) i know everyone says you have to be patient and so, I won't give up and I am exhorting you to not give up, either. I'm following you and I will read your posts!
Thank you @cavesson. Congrats for keepin' at it. I see you just got the curie, so you've got more than just bots taking notice. ;) I'll spend some time on your blog and make sure to leave evidence of my visits. Cheers!
