Well said , I agree %100 with what you are saying. When I posted Pix of my
Praying Manits, I think only 7 people responded. That's ok, because those 7
people ment a alot to me. Your right it's the journey not the destination,
Bravo....
Also, your right about people and posting. For instance I really like the
creations you have made, but I'm not sure if I did a good job following up
and letting you know. Prasie is a good thing, but it may not always come
when you expect it. Again we build for ourselves, we create because we have
the need.
That's good enough for us!
But it's also nice when you connect with someone after all your hard work.

| You're right, Eric: it is nice when you connect with someone after all your hard work. And I think that's where some people are getting turned off because they don't feel like they are connecting since few people if any respond. It's amazing how (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.space)
