Good suggestions, all. Thank you. No worries, I didn't/don't think you're being negative, just open and honest. As mentioned, I'm a work in progress and I appreciate any and all feedback. Let's continue to read one another's work.

BTW (and forgive me if you know this already, but Medium "claps" are unlike FB "likes" in that the Medium "scale" goes from 1 to 50. Your 1 clap may have been deliberate to make a point but if you hold the mouse button down or click repeatedly the "claps" will mount. That said, Medium "claps" may soon be going the way of the dinosaurs and they don't impact earnings but ... they do still feel good. Just saying :-)
