RE: Alex‘s maiden voyage (#2📍Edinburgh)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Finding that you have elected to follow me this morning, @actaylor, I am always curious to know what prompts others to take these steps ... 😉
Seriously, as it appears you are quite new to our Hive blockchain, I wanted to stop by and offer to help you, in whatever way I can, with any questions you might have. I am not THE subject matter expert, but ...
I have been "in here" for quite some time, so ask away ...
All the best to you, in your own "journey" through this remarkable "virtual world!"

@roleerob - thanks for the message - and hi, officially! ☺️ I actually came across your post on Pinmapple >> https://ecency.com/hive-163772/@roleerob/rlt-1-battle-pass-scenic-byway and I liked the content.
You're right - I'm still veeery new, only just learning to navigate Hive 🌱 - so any tips that you might have will come in very handy, I'm sure, haha. I'm not familiar with this world at all, but I'm curious about it and very much want to master my understanding of it properly.
As for my follow... I just liked the way you structured your storytelling - with links and nicely formatted images. And the writing itself was enjoyable to read, haha. Laughed at the idea of Thomas Edison riding a horse down the Transcontinental Railroad... I'm trying to curate who I follow based on quality, for inspiration, but also to learn a thing or two - your other posts regarding cryptocurrency and the blockchain could help to better inform me on how to handle these things myself, for example.
But it was your travelogue that initially drew my interest, haha!
Very good @actaylor. Nice to "meet" another Hivian! What has long been the #1 aspect of interacting "in here" is experiencing "seeing through the eyes of others" what their part of our big, wide world is like. When we know the likelihood of us ever experiencing it ourselves firsthand (at least in my case ... 😉) is very remote.
So ...
Thank you for letting me know the storytelling behind my pictures was of interest. I am sure we all have experienced the frustration of being somewhere and seeing something and both the pictures and the story afterwards don't quite seem to ... "measure up" ... to the moment.
You would have to have some idea of how remote the part of the country I covered is, to imagine stumbling upon that plaque that day. A very famous person came from the other side of the country, in 1878!? What? And some of his inspiration was associated with his invention of the light bulb, no less?!
I did what I could to convey that a little bit ...
As for help, it is a genuine offer. Probably best acted upon by feeling free to ask me any questions you might have. As you stumble upon anything of which you are uncertain and / or curious ...
That said, if your hope is to experience some level of ... "success" ... (definition of which is an interesting topic in and of itself), far and away my #1 suggestion is to be sure and engage with others. Read their posts. Apply whatever inspiration you might have, upon reading it, to add value to their post, by commenting on it ...
The rest will take care of itself, if you are persistent and consistent ...
Oh, yes, and have fun along the way ... 🙂
P.S. As a tip, I always use PeakD's UI for interacting on our Hive blockchain. If you use that, you could bookmark this conversation, for future reference. Then you can easily get back to it, for any future requests for help ... Post your question below and I will be notified of it ...
Indeed! A colleague of mine is from Wyoming - she's based out in the Netherlands presently, but I recall she had some amazing tales up her sleeve, haha. Sounds like a surreal place... a stark comparison to grim, wet, craggy Scotland! Yes, "seeing through the eyes of others", as you say, is such a powerful thing. Profound appreciation to the Hive forum for linking people in this way. It's quite a special place.
I don't think Liz derives from an area as remote as yours, haha, but I'm sure if I passed on your story about the arbitrary plaque in the middle of nowhere she might have some inkling about the region. The fact that Edison stood in that very spot is a wonderful thought, condensing time. Reminds me of a hike I did last year - stumbled across a postbox en-route from Hugo-Gerbers Hütte to Feldener Hütte. Between two peaks! A day's hike from Greifenberg. Woe betide the postman selected for that postal zone. Not for the faint-hearted.
Again, thanks very much for your offer! It's very generous of you - I honestly don't know where to start. I've been avoiding PeakD, finding the front-end interface of Ecency easier to navigate. Haha. But perhaps I should invest more time into learning about PeakD before I come up with any firm opinions. If you have a moment, I'd like to learn about the different tokens within the Hive ecosystem. How are they used, and are there any specific benefits to holding or using them? For example, the dhedge token you kindly put through... oh, where do I begin? And do you know where can I find resources for learning - pointers to guides, forums, community spaces on Hive esp. for beginners?
Thanks for sharing your #1 prompt: interaction! I'll try to engage with others more... This, here, has been super lovely - bridging more connects like this - from across the globe - is, I believe, a "success". Not sure if I can add anything interesting or beneficial to all the articles I find engaging, hahaha, but I'll try posting a comment here and there anyway.
Very interesting. You have a colleague from Wyoming!? Such a small(er) world we live in these days ... Well, Liz can presumably tell you that Wyoming is the least populated state in America, so even if she has never been to the place in my post, she certainly is acquainted with a lot of other sparsely populated areas, for which Wyoming is famous.
Your story of the postbox was fun. We can only imagine what it must take to perform some of these tasks, under the conditions in which they must be undertaken ...
It depends on what you are doing, I suppose, but ... PeakD is very hard to beat, given the various other UIs I have used, e.g. the "original" hive.blog. It works, of course, but "crude" by comparison ...
I am partial, as I have worked with some of the PeakD developers, doing my small part to help it along. They are funded (last I knew) by the DHF, to keep a "continuous improvement" process going, so I do not see them falling behind.
If you just use a mobile phone only, that would be different. Personally, I am writing (as is always the case) from my home office workstation. I would never even attempt to post from my phone. I know others, however, do that all the time ...
Anyway, full circle back ... I do think ecency can capture a bookmark, so I would recommend that ...
What? You want to make some money? 😲 Hahaha ...
My recommendation, then, to get you started, is to join in with a dedicated group of people under the SPInvest family umbrella - the Saturday Savers Club! Details covered recently by this post this morning!
https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@eddie-earner/saturday-savers-club-with-susie-saver-or-year-4-or-week-5-saturday-3-february-2024-or-february-no-buy-month-or-win-eds-for-comm
An old saying ... You may enjoy getting involved with this initiative, as that is exactly what they are all about - encouraging each other, along the way. Which, to the point of your request, has information about the many Hive blockchain L2 tokens they are investing in ...
That should get you going, for now. Browse around, at your convenience. If you like what you see, be sure and let shanibeer know, in a comment on this post, you would be interested in "signing up," as I did just a few weeks ago. If you chose to do so, that would make keeping in touch a bit easier ...
Bye for now! 👋
P.S. I truly appreciate the thought of upvoting my comments. I would encourage you to read my latest SSC (Saturday Savers Club) post and the tip I left in there for club participants, on what you will want to know ...
Ohhh ... Reread your comment @actaylor and I forgot one of your requests - help you with getting started ...
Here is a very good starting point, created by my friend, livinguktaiwan:
https://peakd.com/@newbies-guide/posts
She asked for permission to put my post on keys and security in her "Security and Keys" collection:
https://peakd.com/hive-163399/@roleerob/peakd-review-changing-our-all-important-keys-to-the-hive-blockchain
This was very favorably reviewed by the PeakD team, so you may want to bookmark this one, for future reference. The #1 thing you want to do is ensure the security of your keys.
Lots and lots of good content in there. Should keep you going for a few minutes ... 😉
Thank you, thank you! 🌱🙏
Gosh, thank you so much for the assistance here @roleerob ! 🙏
I'm sure Liz will have some inkling... but I'll be seeing her at a conference soon, so I'll pose the question to her in person then! 😉 There are some aspects she misses about Wyoming, but genuinely loves the busyness of Amsterdam. Some are drawn to bright lights, big cities, I guess. And the postbox was good fun. I'd heard about it before the hike so made a point of packing a stamp and postcard. Unbelievably, my letter actually got to its destination in record time! So, someone must be emptying it regularly! Haha!
Regarding PeakD - I guess I'll just have to give it a go! ☺️ You've swung me. Interesting that you worked with its initial developers - and assisted in helping the platform along, too... << this only makes me uber self-conscious that you've taken the time to answer me and my v. standard questions! Really, thank you!
I found bookmarking your comment via PeakD, as suggested, easy enough. I'll also bookmark your "Security and Keys" post. Very useful! Ecency came recommended as a good platform for posting by the person who helped me set up my account - so, I'm merely going off another's suggestion. Will have to determine what platform works best for me myself. Like you, I don't tend to post via phone - but the Ecency app is accessible - if a little clunky.
And, naive though it is, I didn't realise you could benefit financially from tokens - please, please do forgive me. I reiterate: I'm very ignorant when it comes to the Hive blockchain... almost to the point of it being ludicrous. So, double thanks then for gifting dhedge to me. But of course I'd like to try and save something! The person who helped set up my account actually purchased his house with earnings from Hive - this is what initially inspired me to join the blockchain, wishing to squirrel away savings myself for something just as grand. Then I discovered I could reconnect with my love for writing and communicate with like-minded individuals too. Which only sealed the deal, haha.
I've checked out the Saturday Savers Club link >> I would absolutely be keen to join you in SSC - what an excellent suggestion. I'll tag @shanibeer in now, let her know that I'm interested. And I'll scope out your post and upvote. Anything I can do to support, after all the help you've given me!
Excellent feedback @actaylor. Happy to help! I may not always be the quickest back on my response time, but ... Rest assured, I will get back.
On your asset security, it can hardly be overstated how important it is that you have your keys well backed up. With you, ideally, being the only one who knows what they are. Where were you advised to store you keys?
What I do:
Use the Brave browser, which is compatible with Chrome extensions, BUT protects your privacy. Oh yes, and they have their own token - BAT (Basic Attention Token).
Install Hive Keychain to store my keys.
Handle virtually everything Hive-related on PeakD. Since you are new to it, I highly recommend going to its Dashboard and learning how to use its Template feature. Saves a LOT of time ...
The whole ecosystem of the Hive blockchain, in general, and its L2 tokens, in particular, is something which you will just want to take a step at a time. Learning about all of the apps, which allow you access to them via Hive Engine. A "starter set" ...
Blockchain explorer: https://he.dtools.dev/@actaylor
Swapping and staking: https://tribaldex.com/wallet/

Very nice to hear you'll be joining us in SSC. A decision I think you look back on as a good one! 🙂
On joining SSC, @actaylor, please go to the link provided and leave a comment in there about your interest in joining. That is where shanibeer will look for it.
Ideally, look through some of the other members participating and their savings goals, as shanibeer will ultimately be prompting you to let her know what your primary and secondary savings goals are.
These will then appear in the following week's list. And on you go, from there!
P.S. If you want some recommendations on your savings goals, I will be happy to supply some ideas.
Hiya @roleerob - took a bit of time to set up but I've downloaded the Brave browser and installed my Hive Keychain, as recommended. Indeed, I was even welcomed online with a popup about investing in BAT tokens. 😅
Have just been scoping out the PeakD dashboard... SO helpful, thank you. The whole ecosystem of the Hive blockchain and its L2 tokens is a bit overwhelming - haha - but your guidance has been so incredibly helpful. I really am so happy you got in touch!
I'll take a look through the "starter set" kit you've sent, one link at a time. 😉 Might take a sec to...ah..."catch up"... but I'll get there. I'm enthusiastic about Hive and pretty invested in getting to grips with it. Thanks tenfold for all the help, really. Feel I'm off to a safe, secure start - haha!
And I've just seen shanibeer's reply below - I'll respond, then jump onto the SCC article and leave a comment. Exciting! 👏
And of course, yes please! I'd gladly welcome any savings goals ideas from you - although I'm hesitant to ask for more advice, considering all the time I've snagged from you so far! Haha! I'll scope out the fellow participants to gauge the expectations when it comes to setting up primary and secondary savings objectives. Then make my own. 😌 Fab!
Have a lovely week!
My recommendations come from why we ever "met," in the first place, as first and foremost I am an investor. It was a recommendation to invest in
Steem(the name not mentioned ... 😉), now Hive, which brought me into this "virtual world" in August 2017.I wrote my first introductory post in May 2018 and ... Here we are!
For now, perhaps I will just give you the basis for my own primary and secondary savings objectives - HBD and EDSD.
HBD is the "stablish" coin of the Hive blockchain. Designed to algorithmically maintain its "peg" of 1 U. S. dollar. As you will see on your PeakD wallet, saving any HBD you may have is an option. Paying 20% APR. Try to find anything close to that in the "real world" investing in fiat! Very secure ...
EDSD is focused on "printing" EDS, which in turn, pays HODLers a weekly passive income in HIVE back into our HIVE wallet. Here is what just showed up in mine (being Monday, when it is paid):
The generation of passive income like this is my personal #1 investment objective - "money making money" ... Once you have saved some, of course ... 😉
Have a good evening! 👋
🌄 Good morning (here)! @actaylor ☕
I was thinking of you upon reading the "latest, greatest" on EDS and EDSD this morning:
https://peakd.com/leofinance/@eddie-earner/hbd-backed-eds-tokens-or-edsd-weekly-updates-and-charts-05
Full of helpful details, which you may find of value.
P.S. If you find content like this worthwhile, then you'll want to follow the eddie-earner (left the @ off to NOT notify them ...) account. Which also covers SSC, etc.
P.P.S. ^ This weekly post ^ is typically written by silverstackeruk, the person who has been faithfully laboring away, helping his "getting rich slowly" SPInvest family along the way ...
Good evening @roleerob 👋 Brilliant advice. I'd like to follow your lead with investing in Hive... When I get back in from my run tonight the aim is to read some of the SSC posts, get more familiar with the club, its commentary, community and goals. I've just given eddie-erner a follow. 😉
So, you invested in HBD and EDSD... Your advice then, as an investment strategy, is to focus on these as primary and secondary savings objectives in the Hive blockchain. Sorry, does "printing" refer to the process of generating or creating EDS tokens? Wait, yes, so EDSD is focused on generating EDS tokens, which are then distributed to holders as part of a passive income mechanism?
Okay, it sounds like both HBD and EDSD offer stability and the potential for passive income. So, I would need to learn how to convert to HBD into EDSD, which would the compute into EDS and therefore a larger stream of HIVE. (A lot of reiteration, apologies. Very much a stream-of-thought response.)
I'll read eddie-erner's post about HBD backed as EDS - very appropriate, thanks for sharing, haha!
Hope you're having a wonderful day!
Yes. The recent issuance (new investment opportunity) of EDSD tokens is the last (well, that is what he is currently saying anyway ... 😉) of SSUK's various means of generating EDS, as you'll read in that post.
Right, here is the "easy as A-B-C, 1-2-3" steps to follow:
As you get more comfortable with your various ... "tools" ... you'll want to get comfortable "looking around" in the wallet of other accounts. See what they are doing. Copy it, as you see fit and deem in your best interest ...
I call it "reverse engineering," as I find it a relatively easy way to learn and DIY. Some may not care for it (and it is not for everyone), but I like it, as I am an engineer both by education, as well as it is just the way my little "pea brain" is wired ... 😉
Haha! Thanks for breaking it down @roleerob! Your explanation makes it so much clearer. I'll follow the steps and give it a shot. And I totally get the 'reverse engineering' approach, it's a great way to learn and adapt to new systems.
I'm excited to get started! This has all been very inspiring. Will crack on to SSC and scour through the posts. Thanks for all the help you've provided - very valuable. I've bookmarked your initial message so can return to this feed whenever I wish. 😉
Watch this space!
Sounds good @actaylor. 👍 Thanks for letting me know! Reach out any time ... 👋
🌄 Good morning (here) ☕, @actaylor! With you having now completed your first SSC post, I came back here to provide a ... "shorthand" ... list of points to help you further, as you get started. Yes, I could just wait for questions. I am being proactive, however, doing what I would hope you might consider, if our roles were reversed:
Every community in Hive has an "ebb and flow" to it, with which you will want to become familiar. And do what you can, within your IRL limitations, to fall in with it ...
Case in point - the #pinmapple, #traveldigest, #haveyoubeenhere (all linked to the same travel-related =>) community. They are huge and very well backed. One of the primary reasons I have elected to focus on creating content there (I am capable of writing on a number of topics, but ...). As a result, you can pretty much write 24 / 7 / 365, i.e. on your own schedule and expect to do okay.
By contrast #saturdaysavers? Not so much, as they are quite small ... The central focus is around the two weekly posts, from the eddie-earner (@ intentionally left off so as NOT to notify) account - 1st early Friday morning (here) from hoosie on the weekly rewards from accounts selected and 2nd (the "main event" ...) post of shanibeer. I am new to this community, but ... Most of the time she has written this on Sunday, but last weekend it was Saturday. At least it was the weekend and presumably, given the name of the group, her intent is to try and get it out on Saturday ...
So ... Falling in line with this, you will see I have begun posting my own weekly input soon after hoosie's, but before shanibeer's. That is not an accident. I want to make my weekly comment on shanibeer's weekly post, as soon as I can manage, once it is published. Why? The rest of the "eyes" of her community-building effort are focused on both her post and the comments of everyone below it ... Note well: This is an example of one post where even comments are consistently upvoted! 👍
So ... Your follow-up, from getting your weekly post out, is to put a comment into shanibeer's weekly post. If you read what she asks for, as well as follow the example of the OG (Old Guard) members, you want to always provide two things: 1) A quantitative measure of how your week went (some do only this and do not write a weekly post), and 2) Provide a link to your weekly post, which "fleshes out" #1. Beyond that, whatever else you might be inspired to say, based upon what I will now say in the next bullet point ...
I do not know of a concept of greater value to your future Hive blockchain success that to try to create comments on the posts of others which add value to their post. shanibeer's weekly post is no exception. I'll cite justclickindiva's contribution as one good example ...
That's it, in this comment. I'll reply to this one, with one more separate one, given what I have to say in it ...👋
Some of these new "virtual world" creations, @actaylor, are vast, with a lot of connections between them all - the so-called "network effect" ...
So ...
If you haven't already heard of it or maybe even already involved on there, you should be aware of the ... "synergy" ... between all happening on the Hive blockchain and various servers on Discord.
This app provides the foundation for its own "virtual world," in which many, many crypto projects find a "home base" from which to operate. The Hive blockchain and its various communities being only one small example ... [I believe Discord "started life" trying to provide a network for gamers all over the planet. But ... Today crypto enthusiasts use it extensively ...]
So ... An "all in" next step, if the above is new to you, is to create a Discord account. And get started in learning all about it ... Many of the social interaction limitations of the Hive blockchain are solved there ...
Last, but not least, if you choose to follow up. Here is a Discord invite link to the SPInvest "family" inside of which you will find a channel for #saturday-savers (its way of separating content in Discord):
https://discord.gg/7XnamYVWkH
With that, off I go into a new day. I hope you are having a good one there, on "the other side of the pond" ... 😉👋
Discord. Yes, I've heard of it - I've been meaning to set up an account for a while, so thanks for the prompt. (I think you mentioned that updates about the pinmapple hack were first voiced there...?) I've added setting up an account to my list of things to do tonight when I get back in 😉 Excellent, excellent.
Hope you have a lovely day over in the seemingly-always-sunny Cowboy State! 🌞
Okaaayyy...!! YES. I'd been scratching my head over the comments...
Thanks for being proactive and answering my silent query (-mindreader-); you've helped clear up my confusion, haha. So, a comment on shanibeer's post and an update post per week - well, I'll certainly try my best! Good to note that smaller communities require more conscious effort. Not in a negative thing...
I very much stand by your last point... even only having been here a short while, I've found leaving a comment here and there - actually reading content an instigating discussion - can really add value to a post. I like the link between comments and community-gathering, too.
Welcome, @actaylor, it is very easy to join the Saturday Savers Club - just leave a comment and visit the other commenters' post to see what they are up to.
If you decide you want to become a more serious Saver, decide your primary (and secondary, if you have one) saving goal for the year, and leave it in a comment on the weekly post to get added to the Savers Chart. That way you get an alert every week when the post goes up, and you can come by and take part in whatever is going on 😍
Hey @shanibeer - nice to hear from you! Excellent, glad to hear it's an easy join! I'll leave a comment now. Will invest some time into reading through other commenters' posts, see what they're up to - and find some inspiration for establishing my own primary and secondary savings goals. 😉 Sounds like a great space!
🌄 Good morning @actaylor! ☕
"Dropping in" for a bit, to intentionally start a new thread on our original exchange ... I'll be brief and just list a few "bullet" points, which I could easily expand on, should that be helpful / necessary:
To do what? Write my "Fall Colors Tour" travel-related posts ... With the last "detail" post now published, there only remains my "index" post and I will be done - having finished what I started ...
My final post will have rewards declined. And it will make crystal clear why it is very likely to be my last post. And, to avoid any potential misunderstanding on your part, as best as I can manage it under the circumstances, it will have nothing to do with SSC ...
I hope this finds you and yours doing well. And, I will "lead with trust" that you have at least some idea of why I might choose to follow up in writing this to you vs. simply leaving a "void" ... As I know from the experience base of my long life, that "voids" do not remain that way for long ...
👋
@roleerob - I am truly sorry to hear that you will be stepping down, and I must apologise for the misunderstanding. I've been following your SSC posts with avid interest and had intended to tag an earlier post but settled for the most recent one, though I regret I hadn't fully read it. Oh, I do hope you're okay??
You have been so incredibly helpful these last few months, and I only wanted to express my gratitude publicly. Thank you so much for the support during this short period - I've found you to be a very genuine, likeable presence on the blockchain... I am only sorry I didn't come across your account earlier!
Sending you all the best, dear friend from Wyoming - and again, I'm terribly sorry about the tag mishap! Thanks for choosing to not leave a void, even though I made the error. It's nice to pass on a more private farewell. 💛
Hmmm. I apparently did not cover this clearly enough, as ...
... I certainly had / have no thought you have anything for which to apologize. Nor did I mean to even imply that, although I clearly did somehow. Please accept my apologies for whatever in my wording gave you that impression.
To the contrary, I think you are a sincere, genuine person that I have enjoyed "meeting."
Trying again, "talking straight" ...
There was no response to my post whatsoever, even though I began helping with HSBI rewards on Day 1, in addition to helping support shanibeer and others by upvoting comments on her post, etc.
In response to your post's reference to my latest "tip" in my last post, I did note shanibeer elected to comment on it a bit. She appreciates (as well she should) your joining SSC and appears to be doing what she can to help you feel welcome ...
Beyond that, probably the less said the better. I hope that helps set your mind at ease ...
Yes, I am fine physically. My last post will clear up any questions. From there, I can answer any follow-up question(s) you might wish to ask here.
Take care!
Ah, you're lovely @roleerob! 💫 So glad to learn I didn't cause offence. (Phew!) I'll keep a lookout for your last post, although I truly am sorry to see you go.
Do take care of yourself - and, well, until next time!!
Good evening (here) my Scottish friend! Following through on my commitment, here is a link to my final post:
https://peakd.com/hive-174122/@roleerob/end-of-the-road-for-roleerob
I don't think it leaves much unclear. I wish it was more uplifting, but ... I just "talk straight" and let the chips fall where they will. To do otherwise just doesn't hold together very long ...
If you'd like and have some questions afterwards, I'll be happy to answer them here.
I hope this finds you and yours doing well there. Spring (our favorite season) is almost upon us! 👋
Up late again this evening, I found that I had failed to create the above properly, i.e. I had forgotten to tag you in it!? 🙄😞
I'll fix that now ...
👆 @actaylor 👆
I'm so glad you followed up on this @roleerob - your previous comment completely slipped my notice! I've just finished reading up on your last post, all the comments, and links... What an insightful journey that was...
You are so very principled - (only a good thing!) - it's evident that you've navigated your investments with care and thoughtfulness... despite facing disappointments and witnessing injustices. It's alarming to learn that the blockchain is caving on the values it was built upon in the first place. (Decentralisation being one! Kindness, openness, and clarity being others.)
The responses you've encountered, especially in the linked thread, reveal a troubling lack of understanding and a tendency towards personal defensiveness rather than clear, logical discourse... it's concerning to see such dynamics... particularly in someone who claims they've been entrusted with a decision-making role...
Let's hope your post makes ripples - the more community members are aware of these issues, the more wiling they'll be to address them as they come up... establishing discourse about how to establish more effective accountability mechanisms sounds like a good target to me! Oh, I do wish you'd linger around on Hive and help to push change forwards... indeed, I was excited by this comment of yours especially...
Although it must be wearying, after so many years, to see abuse being repeated in perpetuity by busybodies with too much power and not enough sense... perhaps change is on the way? Hm, I genuinely do hope so. The accounts you mentioned appear to be harmful entities, receiving compensation for promoting negative behaviour driven by personal animosity rather than constructive engagement... this kind of practice doesn't belong in the Hive community.
Having only been here for a wee while, I do like the space and see the potential for it. But I suppose ego comes about it many forms... inside the Hive blockchain, as well as out... It's disheartening, to say the least. It only instils lack of trust.
For your sake, @actaylor ...
... I hope your own "journey" through this blockchain's many different communities is rewarding and a net positive experience. My post brings "out into the light" issues many would rather not address. And I have turned away from them long enough.
So ... For me, it is time to call it ...
I will always have fond memories of my own. And will never forget the fascination of engaging directly with others all over the world.
If you ever become aware the needed reforms are actually implemented, please feel free to let me know. I hope for the sake of you and the many good people who choose to remain active, that it is not too far off.
Take care!
👋
I will do, @roleerob 🌸
