This Real Estate Virtual Assistant Says, "Feature Smeature!"

Roy - Thank you!  Pretty flower, I love this time of year with all the flowers.

Wallace - I completely forgot about the group features, I have had a few of those also...but again, I prefer to compete with myself on my own stats, rather than writing posts merely in the hope that they will get the gold star...but they are pretty...I prefer purple to gold, but you know...can't be too picky!   :-)

Michael - Bling...LOL...don't think they expected it to be called that, but interesting that you came up with it :-)  I actually, will thoroughly enjoy pushing that "Suggest" button when I read a post that I think contains content that should be shared with and viewed by the masses rather than the few...Thanks for stopping by!

Gita - Localism is great for generating interest in your blogs, you are correct!  Thanks for your comment!

Barbara - Great quote...my son needs to hear that when it comes to his dirt bike racing :-)  Thanks for stopping by!

TLW - Of course not...I don't think I hinted at that at all...I actually didn't say that I saw anything wrong with the way the Features have been picked to date, if you go back and re-read my post you will see that. (oh...I see...I said I comisserated with the infantile behavior - that merely meant it's been a long time since I've been chosen for a feature and I am as guilty of "Feature Envy" as anyone)  I just meant that with all this talk about the same people getting featured, blah, blah, blah... I certainly harbor no resentment to those that have been featured...writing is work and those that do it often and well will be rewarded.  My whole point was that I don't blog for the feature (but remember I said I did appreciate them and that they were pretty little stars ;-)...that I blog to compete with myself and up my own stats on the search engines and here within AR itself...I have seen the results in my business and I know it's worth it!  I don't see this system as anyone being penalized, it is just a more obvious version of what was already in place and I think they are looking for a little more involvement from "the people" to tell them what they like and want to read more of.  Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my post...you can reserve a space on my posts anytime! 

TLW - you can speed read on my blog any day...speed reading is much better than no reading!!!  And look...we got a chance to chit chat :-)

TLW - {{{HUGS}}}

David P - Thanks for the comment!  And for bringing me back to read my own post...somedays you just need to read your own words again and BELIEVE them!  Also, thanks, because somehow I missed David O'Doherty's comment from way back in July!!!

David O - so sorry!!!  I really do always try to respond to comments on my blog...not sure how I missed yours, but thank you ...very belatedly...for taking the time to stop by and read / comment on my blog!  It is much appreciated :-)
