don't get too excited like I did and hit the strip clubs

^^^ I genuinely read that in the literal sense for a split second...LOL! Strippers sprinkled throughout made me laugh instead of crossing my eyes like the little girl in that pic.

It's actually pretty heartening that I'm hitting the mark on quite a few of your suggestions above, but there's certainly room for improvement. I appreciate what you said about curation trails, because my gut told me not to do it, but then I began wondering if "everybody else" was seeing something I had missed (or else why would they all be joining the trails?)

What you said about getting all altruistic and sharing the love hit home because I tend to operate more like that. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing and I don't want to stop...but I can see how I could be more smart at the same time. Very helpful post :)
