I agree with Ron. (in response to Amit's statement)
Many of us have been around awhile --- and many of us are personal friends -- made here -- met at some show or whatever... so then there tends to be a "connection" and we pay more attention to each others stuff --- which is to be "expected" as friends would do.
When you post in other peoples threads -- then they respond or whatever - and you start to build a rapport with them -- and they in kind -- look to see what you're doing etc. That's how I was drawn to your thread "finally".
It takes some time -- takes some effort -- but it's so worth it.
