Hi Roz,
First, let me say that I find it refreshing that we are having a debate over something other that the usual things about Medium that irritate the membership.
Next, I did read through your story/article (why do we have to call them stories, anyway?) in its entirety, and clapped fifty times at the end.
I would like to state for the record, however, that I refrained from highlighting even a single word of your storicle, even though I consider myself quite compulsive by nature.
In this case, my rebellious and crumudgeonly qualities won-out, and I sat on my hands while I read to make sure I did not highlight anything that jumped-out at me. Because.
Because you said to go ahead and highlight away.
