   I understand that it is not your responsibility to create my traffic.
   I understand it is not your job to make me rich or famous.
   I understand that it is not your job to write essays or poems of quality.
   
   What you have given me is a forum to write about the things that interest me and hopefully a few others. You have held me accountable to achieve the standard you have set and though I don't always hit the mark, I believe it is achievable. I consider it a privilege to write on this site and I thank you for creating an environment that welcomes everyone. Cheers!

               Thank you... I feel that I should stop talking now... funny how you feel empowered when no one cares, but if you have 10 ppl's approval, you feel something akin to shame. lol

         Im a little embarrassed... I didn't realize Id been given that award. If you hadn't said that, I might never have known... I would have gone to my deathbed without knowing I had once been the queen of a kingdom of words. I can think of no higher honor.
         
         Does this mean I have to marry paradigmsearch?

   I am fond of HP as well. They really are a kinder, gentler website. I'm trying to come up with a batch of new, interrelated hubs as we speak.

         It would depend upon if they were six feet tall or 10 inches-- I think they are cute. If you look closely enough, you can see that some of them are smiling-- like the HP staff.
