I don't really pay attention to post count, so I'm not sure. I guess I have been posting a lot lately. Hahaha, I wish writing novels could be as easy as these posts, let alone writing one novel. Thank you very much for your words of encouragement, especially since you put a good spin on being opinionated and apologetic. They mean a lot and are eloquently written themselves, so I'd argue that you too could likely pursue a career in writing. Your writing is always restrained, but not to a fault, instead bearing a diplomatic manner that does not offend even those seeking to be offended. On top of that, you clearly see the large picture, while not forgetting the small details that are equally as important in constructing the picture and adding depth, of which you masterfully can convey to others. You have an intrinsic grasp of the material which is aided by your everlasting optimism, which I think may be one of the most important qualities yet since the world (and especially this internet forum) seems to be especially in want of it. That's a nice inspiration and something I fervently believe myself, since most of my posts are about putting an end to the misinformation and fake news that seem to plague this place, especially involving a certain someone.
