Happy halfiversary @denmarkguy
I'm a little concerned with your statement about being a "trailing indicator." Does that indicator double or square with two of us here now? Strange things seem to happen on Steemit though so maybe it halves instead?
In just over 2 months I have to say my experience here has been an exceptionally good one. Although I live in a somewhat intellectual backwater called America so whereas you may be used to finding intelligent, rational and mostly well-mannered people, I find them refreshing. ;-)
I agree with the so-so rating of material organization with tags and really wish that content didn't just disappear into the ether after a week or a month's time. Someone sent me a link to a post today that was a year old and I have to wonder what other gems have been lost (effectively) in the blockchain.
The petty bickering doesn't bother me so much as the drama that the uninvolved followers and hangers-on turn it into.
And much weeping and sadness fell upon the land.
I look forward to the next six months of your contributions. Thanks for the 2 that you've shared while I've been here.
