Yes, of course. That's very true. But there's a reason I used the words "common denominator" to explain the situation. I'd also appreciate and thank receiving the email. The social media sharing makes one feel less-valued. I'd rather people individually contact, to show that they care. Social media sharing is a detached sharing. It is a lazy man's ideal situation.
Social media is giving up quality for quantity. I decided it was unhealthy a while ago, and continue to feel pretty good about that :-)
Apparently, there is more money (business?) in quantity, then there is in quality.
