To All My Cyber Friends & Buddies

Oct 19A
This Blog is dedicated to all my friends and online buddies, who have taken the time to read my Blogs and some of you have taken the trouble to leave me comments, expressing your views, opinions and personal thoughts on the subject matter I wrote about. Some have given me much incentive to expand more and encouragement to do better.

I learn something new almost everyday. Some days the feedback I got is astonishingly enlightening. I raised a subject and found from time to time information or insight from some of you far more thorough than I had knowledge of, and from people in all parts of the world, people I have never even met, but who had helped to enrich me in many ways.

Their comments, those sensible and helpful ones, also enable me to know them as real people, more than that, as friends, rather than just names on my contact list. They suddenly become "alive" when I look at some of the very long and difficult to remember nicknames or pen-names, now I can associate them with the equally difficult to remember avatar profiles. Thank God some of them do use a personal photo.

It always amazes me to find some people listed on their pages to have more than several hundred friends, the one with the most I have spotted have 930+! I am proud of myself to have now actually come to recognize about 10 of mine, although on my several lists on different sites there are a few more. I would have liked to know everyone as a friend, but unfortunately I can't. Some names stay names and I am not quite sure how or where to place them.

One or two are definitely critics. That's perfectly fine with me. I wholeheartedly welcome constructive and helpful criticism, but I feel a good critic should criticise what I have written, not what I should have written. If I put in their opinions and views on whatever subject I write about, the finished article would have become their Blog, not mine.

Besides, my Blogs are merely my random thoughts on paper or, in this case, online, within my space, reflecting my moods or my days of elation or frustration; not literature or in competition for the Nobel Prize. I should be allowed a couple of trivial or harmless errors.

I truly welcome your criticism too on this one. But please don't be too brutal on me.Tell me what I did wrong and I'll try to do better; Leave the harsh bit for next week if you must, okay?
