Great insights man. I don't disagree with anything you say. I remember getting downvoted in the early days and it stung. I poured my soul into a post, it did well and then the downvotes. Now I can understand their importance and why the mechanism is there. I don't really bat an eyelid now when a post is downvoted and realise now it's not personal.

Regarding comments, I endeavour to answer all of mine, out of courtesy. It's great to get the engagement, so the least one can do is be social and respond.

Good shout calling out @tarazkp

One of my favourite authors on here for quite some time - interesting, engaging, good writer - ticks all the boxes.
