Thank you, that's much appreciated and definitely reassuring to hear!
Yeah, some pubs are better than others at these things. I noticed a good ratio of followers helps, because the more followers a pub has, evidently the more writers, and then it's easy to get buried in all the noise. I find that a good ratio of readers/writers that may not be that much is way better than a pub with millions of followers.
That's too bad. But I see you've been publishing in Boucin' and Behavin' blog however, has that been working out for you so far?
