Yes.

1. Stop recommending following me to new hubskiers, based on my previous genius as a contributor. What have I done lately?

It's not that my hubski-love is over. My hubski-love is always throbbing.

But when I get a notice that newuser is following me, I shudder. OMG, I cry. What do I have to say today? Can I make steve giggle?

Whenever I drive or cycle, I write long letters to hubski in my imagination, but alas, the universe rushes in.

Then I'll come across a bit of hubski love: a picture, perhaps, of _refugee_ and blackbootz in Baltimore and, as Matthew Arnold said,

  Oh! then a longing like despair 

Is to their farthest caverns sent;

For surely once, they feel, we were

Parts of a single continent!

Now round us spreads the watery plain—

Oh might our marges meet again!

oh, what was the question?

    Can I make steve giggle?

    my previous genius as a contributor

this post proves your use of "previous" to be false.

I will not, can not stop recommending you. Even if they only get a glimpse in to the awesomeness that is lil, it will have all been worth while.

Keep driving and cycling and writing those letters in your head. One day, we will all be sitting at a great table and the best parts of those letters will come racing to the surface of your mind and you'll share them with us, your hubfamily.

Maybe a table in Key West? Maybe a table in San Francisco?
