Thank you for the mentions, @pennsif! These help more than you will ever know.

(side note: not sure if by design, but the link under the section you mention the #SteemitDailyJackpot directs to a "50 STEEM Contest Alert" in Xpilar).

I love to hear about the meetups. I'm blown away by the desire to further build communities and expand friendships/relations in those selected regions of the world. Here in America, everybody is so divided by politics that no one is interested in online community development anymore. They only want to argue and point fingers at who's to blame these days, which is sad.
