I know how you feel! The number of times someone on Steemit has beaten me to the punch with a post that I was primed to do. Steemit must encourage a telepathic connection or something. :-D
It is a very good point you make on having as wide a range as possible of views. I must admit to being quite selective in reading only what I agree with. I promise I will change that now. Thanks for the nudge.
No worries. I am glad it helped a bit. It is very easy to end up in an echo chamber these days. Part of the reason I write these types of things is to remind myself to get out there.
It is annoying though to be beaten so many times :)
