John, your stories are always entertaining and well written. I look forward to your posts and I would be really saddened to lose you.

I enjoy Medium for the lovely folks I have met here and the virtual friendships I have made.

I have never joined up with Mediums money thing because I write for the love of it, and am not interested in getting paid.

I am happy if someone reads and enjoys something I wrote, but mostly I just love to write and if I like it, then I am happy. If I don't like it, I do not publish it. If I look at an old piece and dislike it, I remove it.
