As no one had claimed ownership for the generous upvote(s); and to the best of my ability I have ascertained that it is the @curie trail. Even to that end; I cannot distinguish with certainty which individual up-votes form part of the trail or not.
I wish to thank @curie and each individual up-voter whether part of the collective or not.
I am extremely grateful for this bolt from the blue - recognition. As a complete novice your encouragement has elevated me to seventh heaven, and has furthermore, instilled a joy and passion for writing which previously did not exist. If your purpose is to instill a love for writing good quality posts, today you have succeeded by one willing participant.
