Wow. Long but quite intriguing post. I must say I agree with most of what you wrote here. Well stated. I like the comparison to a party. Basically why I am here. To meet some new, interesting, and pretty cool people. Most of the people that give a damn are also genuine and talented.
I am happy to have read this and to make your acquaintance! I’m going to go mingle a bit, but maybe I’ll see you around here later.
Thanks so much @bdmillergallery, for this great response! :-) And welcome to the party; I'm sure we'll meet again as this party will last for a long time to come ;-)
