Justin my darling man. Thank you for putting that so eloquently. LOL. This is the 2nd time since I've been writing here, that someone shared that same view, although I'm sure others might feel the same way. It's okay and I get it. But that other person was so mean to me, and spoke in such harsh words, I couldn't believe it. While I was happy he chose to follow me, I never obligated him to do so, the way he spoke - in no uncertain terms. So yes, thank you for your eloquence. And no, I don't want you or anyone else to feel compelled or even guilty for falling behind on my stories. They're always there if you want or need them, and I know it's unrealistic for any of us writers to think that way, especially when there are so many wonderful writers to also try and support. And finally my friend, it's as I've expressed in stories specifically about this issue: "I'd rather members NOT subscribe to get me in their emails. I know it creates a stockpile. I don't even read my own emails. LOL. Just pop by from time to time when you can and if you want. I'm still EASY PEASY :-)
