I dunno, it's nice and fuzzy feels to have someone agree with me...sometimes.
I've never followed anyone or bought into any current movement or fad. I make
my own. And I've never wanted to be followed - ick. (the responsibility).  
But when even a few (or gasp, a lot) happen to agree with me, it feels kind of
good for a while. But then they move away again - it's inevitable - 
Bye bye. I'm fine.
