Love it. It is often harder for true journalists to do well on Medium because many journalists are introverted (and used to not being popular in social places, real and online) so the social aspect of it is key.

When you encourage good writing with good comments we make friendships and even gain colleagues in this true “social” community of writers (the commenters who do nothing but trash never quite get that and they don’t do well either). You’re becoming a true leader in our little “social network for writers.” Keep going!
