REACH 50 ON ACTIVERAIN YOU GET AN eSLAP or ELECTRONIC SLAP ON THE BACK

HIT 50 CLICKS! That's when you get an email saying "it looks like some people like what you have to say! Make sure you check this post to see if there any unanswered comments or question. Keep up the great work! You're a vital part of the AR family"

ELECTRONIC SLAP ON THE BACK OR eSLAP

This tells us that at least 50 people took some of their precious time and spent it on you. Take a moment and ponder this giving of others to yourself. ACTIVERAIN thought it important enough to add their acknowledgment too while bringing it to your attention

RETURN THE LOVE or LOVE THE RETURN

Consider that second part of the eSLAP mentioned above. It calls to our attention to check the post. WHY? Besides re-reading and appreciating the experience, you get to see and hear from others that did too and ACTIVERAIN reminds you there may be some "unanswered" comments or questions.

YOUR PUBLIC IS BEING FED TOO

Something worthy of mention in the eSLAP is the acknowledgment of the part you have played not just in the cyber world but in your own business or social plan as well. It is an indicator of a good launch into the Internet

ACTIVERAIN APPRECIATES USING THE WORD VITAL

Over the years I have seen ACTIVERAIN appreciate us all for our time, contribution, participation and devotion. Notice the word VITAL in the eSLAP? It means absolutely necessary, important and full of energy. Very appropriate word used skilfully here. Worthy of mention within ACTIVERAIN are the RAINERS and RAINMAKERS that give and go beyond too

THESE FINE LADIES

Kathy Streib (the aha princess), Patricia Kennedy (cutest flutist) and Debbie Reynolds (the real) among many others not only contribute steadily but support so many others too while they do. HOW? They post about posts which is a commitment and duty over and above the normal RAIN...They make thunder too these girls do

NECTAR OF THE RAINMAKERS

All this comes about from our participating in blogging on ACTIVERAIN and if that was not reward enough for us all, they threw in contests, features and POINTS too...POINTS....ahhh like nectar

ACTIVERAIN

What a good way to remember the 2013 year and to welcome in 2014 year

Richie- as I sit here watching my football games, I'm reminded how important teams are, and I'd say that ActiveRain has a pretty darn good team!!!  Thank you for the very kind mention (BTW, does that princess title come with a crown?).

Richie, This is a very good post about being interactive. I appreciate the mention and feel in terrific company with fellow Rainers Pat and Kathy. So many go above and beyond leaving many comments, reciprocating and doing there part in their own way. You are one of those that brings joy to the readers of ActiveRain. Thanks Richie.

Nice shout out to Active Rain. Being the grouchy person that I am, I would be just as happy to never receive an eSlap because I find them an annoyance, but if I block that I could end up blocking something really important that I sincerely need to know. :)

Hello Elizabeth...I see your point and when our realms are invaded we react instead of respond...Personally, an automatic response loses its welcome after a while and we find that to be true in the world of meet and greet often...Yes? The most often abused one liners....How are you? fine. How are you? fine

The grouch says ouch...?   lol

Replying to comments is crucial to blogging success!  If I start to notice that someone never replies to their comments, they stop getting comments from me!

Happy New Year Richie...I get more than a few of those electronic 'slaps', mostly on my local events posts ...It's nice to know that people actually take the time to investigate non-profit breakfasts and church bazaars etc...Enjoy your day.

Hi Richie!  I do get thoes slaps but, unfortunately they're directed to my junk mail folder because I could not do anything besides ActiveRain when I was checking my inbox!  LOL  Most times I'm tardy to get back to people but, I'm working diligently on that this year!  You're right - people do take the time to stop by and moreover, comment - that deserves a 'thank you' in one form or another..for sure!

Happy New Year to you and yours!
