At a work conference in Boca Raton and all of sudden checked my email and saw 20 notifications for new Hubski followers.

Fits and starts.

The truth is that only a few of those twenty will likely become active members of the community, but whoever you few are... I'm glad you found us. Welcome.

I am cantankerous and mean.

All the more reason to follow you (although you might want to raise your game, because you come off polite and sweet...sorry).

Aww, shucks. scuffs foot on ground Thanks.

Really this is my oblique way of saying I am not enthusiastic but rather a little pessimistic about the newcomers. But we shall see.

Well I hope that the majority of redditors coming over are trying Hubski because they're sick of the pun threads, worn out jokes, and generally unintelligent conversations that happen there.

I'd like to think that means we're getting the best of the best reddit has to offer. (Shhh! I may be a new reddit refugee.)

No need to worry. Because you can ignore tags AND people (and mute them, even!) the last wave of Redditors vanished from my purview in about 20 minutes.

This is why this site will likely survive - it needs no back-room manipulation to keep things clean for everyone.

Was that a "get off my lawn you young whippersnappers"?

Ugh. I don't like teenagers or college students, generally.

Well I'm liking this place so far. Maybe I'll be staying around. 😃
