Just a word to the Not So Wise..... If you are going to do all this studying and writing and figuring this stuff out, do not concentrate on people who are following you JUST YET. And no, you are not "nobody". You are probably like the rest of us when we first started, only you're a helluva lot younger than me so probably know a LOT MORE than I do! People "follow you" to be nice. When you catch up with what you're trying to do, you can THEN follow some of these folks, but I recommend the ones in the top WA rankings (at first), because they know more and are there to help. Then later, maybe YOU will be able to help newbies....

Dude come on. What do you mean you're nobody? Following you is a good thing. If you ask a question, the people following you can help out. If you post a blog here, they can see it and respond and who knows, they might learn a thing a two from you.
