I have visions of you pushing out 13,000 comments in the last week of December...In between helpings of left-over Christmas dinner. A timelapse video of this would be really nice. Just saying.
Yeah, I've met so many people who have become solid relationships here simply through engagement, either theirs or mine. It's one of the cool things here. Sure, people come and go, unfollow and mute etc. But it's those that stick around and engage back that help make it all enjoyable for me.
I'll await your figure.
