YASSS! This is all the things. You managed to maintain your uniquely you style and theme, while fulfilling your mission. Great job.

Critique, you could be a little more subtle. It felt to me like the post was designed just to use the trick. SO, ironically, it was exactly what you were preaching about, just a little. The bucket brigade should be a bonus. Like steak sauce. You love it, but you don't pay $50 a plate for sauce, make sure you've got a good steak so that when they hear the sizzle and take a bite, they feel satisfied. Your writing, imagery and ideas are right on target, just a little more cohesion in the various sections would make it pop.
Nice. WHAT? When I got here, this only had one 1 lousy vote, what's wrong with people. Well, here's mine. This is a definite contender for revenue share day 2! Keep it up! resteeming.
