@rocketbeee, thanks! I was just reading your most recent post and the name "rocketbee" finally sunk in when I saw the rocket photos. Yes, I think we joined about the same time... I've enjoyed your posts, too.
I just like to tell stories and "think our loud." Sometimes I make people think, sometimes I teach something, sometimes I just rattle cages and make people mad. And it's all OK... I guess I am personally slightly biased against "writing for popularity" because of my years as a technical writer where I was "ordered" to write certain things a certain way... and I eventually quite because I realized I had "sold out" on my own creativity.
