If I read a story about a subject I know little about, by an author who lives in New Zealand, by clapping and commenting I am creating a point of contact 10,000 miles away and I find that exhilarating.

It's how I first contacted you, Alison, a couple of years ago. That's something that Medium offers. It's also only fair to reciprocate. Such a fine word, and one that is sadly in a bit of disrepair.

Cheers, great article. 😊👏
