You and I are on the same page about engagement, Anne, and I'm sure you know that. I believe strongly in engagement - meaning, reading, clapping, and commenting. I do follow a lot more people than you recommend - mostly because I believe in following each person I add as a writer to any of my publications. From time to time, I cull my list, but haven't done that in a long time.
Great article, Anne. Your English has improved so much since I first met you here, as has your writing. You've matured in all areas and deserve any accolades that come your way!
