One Month Already!

I have been a member of this site for one month exactly as of August 20th, and since this is an anniversary of sorts, I thought I'd look back on those past weeks and evaluate the results. Since I try for the most part to focus on the positive, I'm happy to report that in the past month I posted seven blog posts and received over 796 views. To me this is great news, because it shows that people seem to enjoy reading my posts. Thank you for your interest and support, everybody. I am humbled and grateful.

On a slightly less positive side, I saw many people read my profile, and all seven emails I've received came from scam artists, and I cheerfully called them to task, each and every one. In fact, one particular emailer claimed to come from one of my old hometowns! Needless to say, she didn't know any of the town's main streets, and it didn't take me long to take apart her claims.

I just love these fake responders - they are great comic relief and an excellent way to vent out my frustrations! I enjoy sending them my very own "form letter" telling them why I know they are fakes, since they very clearly never bothered to read my ad. So thank you, scammers, for bringing me laughter and stress relief!

As much as I enjoy blogging, I also take the time to read blogs as well. Sometimes I offer a little comic relief -especially when the blog post is lighthearted and fun- or I try to give the most honest answe or insight I can. I know how much work goes into a blog, so the more thoughtful the post, the more thoughtful the reply I offer. And the best part of all this correspondence?

You guessed it. I made some really great friends.

Thank you for welcoming me into the CS community. I might not have found some local dates in my area, but I made some great friends from all over the world. For that reason alone, I will continue to post and comment, and with your kind words or encouragement, I'll always remain cheerful and optimistic.

Have yourselves a great weekend, and don't get discouraged in your search for your love connection! In the meanwhile, remember that today's friend could become tomorrow's soulmate!

Cheers!
Marc
