People who Inspire, Entertain, Provoke Thought, Encourage

Bruce asked the question some time ago what brought you to SearchWarp and why did you stay? Or something like that. Well, I came by chance it seemed. Id just learned about writing articles and wanted to promote my blog. I had a list of article directories and was just doing it by rote.

But SearchWarp was different to the other directories. It just looked as if real humans hung out there. I didn't really understand the readers club or all the different options. Got the fan club, though, I understood that one my first fan club ever, Whoopeee! Still, I was a bit uncertain of myself, so I wrote my article and left it at that. Computer and Internet illiterate doesn't come close to describing me.

Blow me down if I didn't get a personal welcome! Huh. I was right, real people. Then Jean chose my article for her pick of the day. What?? That was a first for me, too. But it didn't stop there. People began leaving comments on what Id written. Very strange. Real real-humans. Now the truth is, I expected people to dislike what Id written. Or at best tolerate it. I didn't expect the great strokes or the down and dirty friendliness, compassion, humor, the inspiring articles. Oh, " down and dirty friendliness " doesn't sound right but you know what I mean. The rest is history - hah! I've always wanted a place to say that.

The friends I've made, the people I've met in this virtual village, have filled a gap in my life. I've been inspired, moved, provoked to thought, encouraged and entertained here, so this is where I've chosen my quotes from.
