I don't drop a comment, however I looked at some of the comments on this page "Journey's Start 2009". I do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind. Is it just me or does it look like a few of the responses come across like they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at other places, I'd like to keep up with you. Could you make a list of every one of your social networking sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
