Hey man, word of advice to you... Don't follow people willy nilly, your alerts will be cluttered and you might skip over alerts related to you. Just sayin'... following people or getting followers isn't really all that special, just keeps you up to date on certain people that you feel like stalking.
For the reasons, I have read some of your posts, they are interesting and funny so I decided to press the follow button.
Also, I like following active members just to keep track of the forum status.
