Also participating in the Blog Against Theocracy does it!<BR/><BR/>And M, it's so true, I love "meeting" people in the blog world that I would never have been in touch with otherwise!<BR/><BR/>Evil Spock, I was only waiting for an appropriate award for you! It is well-deserved, you are a very polite, gracious host on your blog and a great commenter.<BR/><BR/>Amanda, thanks again! I looked up the award so I could find out a little more about how to describe it and it was fun to find out who started it in the process.Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-4793053180217067292007-07-15T23:27:00.000-04:002007-07-15T23:27:00.000-04:00Maui, you're more than welcome!And thank YOU so mu...Maui, you're more than welcome!<BR/><BR/>And thank YOU so much for finding out the history behind the award.

Its only polite!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the award!

Well, I'm very glad to hear it--thank you. <BR/><BR/>I do post prolifically, too much even maybe, and though I absolutely LOVE the writing aspect of blogging (and the reading aspect of being a blog reader), I also totally agree with you about the community building aspects of blogging. <BR/><BR/>I like being in touch with "online friends" and having conversations with people I'd otherwise probably never meet in "real life." If someone takes the time to comment on what I write, I try my best to respond to them if I am able, because I appreciate their comments, even though sometimes they may not even return to read my response.<BR/><BR/>I think blogs have the potential to do a lot of good in the world, if people make good use of them--both reading them and writing them. And I like that this award focuses on the interaction component of blogging, rather than simply on the part of it that is more like a monologue. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your kind words about my blog, and on my blog!!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14019009149011549894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-15071325329358500142007-07-15T21:32:00.000-04:002007-07-15T21:32:00.000-04:00Mauigirl,You will have a growing blog since you co...Mauigirl,<BR/><BR/>You will have a growing blog since you comment regularly on Tomcat's and Lydia's blogs.<BR/><BR/>They both gets lots of traffic, then those who comment on your blog will get their traffic as well.<BR/><BR/>It goes around to benefit all.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283557503536810926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-88453275633053170902007-07-15T21:23:00.000-04:002007-07-15T21:23:00.000-04:00Thanks, Larry!
