Thanks man, appreciated. Judging by the lack of comments I get from everyone else, I think you're the only one ! :-) That's mainly to blame for my slowdown, lack of interest from people make it not worthwhile to spend time writing it. Nothing to do with money or points, just lack of people being interested in even talking about it.
I'm glad to see you're going to write again though ;-)
It is kind of hard due to the lack of commenting. Anymore, I enjoy commenting and engaging other more than creating. I think a lot of it has to do with the size of your account. If your upvote is worth more, then people will want to engage you more. Maybe not the right way to do things, but it is a fact of life I think for now.
