Thanks @sonofthesoil, and your insightful comment prompts me to follow you!

I deeply feel that we are on the right track. We can have a great and influential Steemit with a collection of several dozen/hundred small communities doing their own thing.

 It is too easy to forget that with in our inevitable 24-hour day, we can meaningfully interact with just a few people! So the trick is to find a good life with this limited opportunity.

Cheers!
