The Mass

As a general rule 7v7 refrains from tagging, as i aim not to irritate or annoy.

As a general rule, because I post only into challenges to keep my wheels geared (geared not greased), i make a habit of noting the @ proser as a credit and record for the source of the inspiration and prompt. If he or she is looking to read and respond to their challenge entries, they will find me; no need to Nag is my thinking.

That is in response to Do I Mass Tag?

And as for being tagged, i love to be It!

...joking aside, it's nice when someone wants to share or engage... when i work up the nerve, I sometimes tag a specific proser whose challenge inspired something for me which i subsequently posted, outside the deadline, hence not in the challenge itself. But, one tag as you can see, does not make a Mass... however...

I felt so Honored when @Prose included me in The MASS tag... as a fact I had been posting almost daily since mid 2020 and suddenly a week or two ago, i saw 7v7 added to the long list of esteemed prosers. Well i felt I had finally Arrived.

...and it weighed on my conscience that my daily posting had flagged. For very valid and temporary reasons. But the tag made me feel no longer as a small, isolated satellite, but a recognized part of the bigger machinery!

A person can't read Everything Posted on Prose. Wonderful writes inevitably fall through the cracks of inattention. But if there is a tag, a link is made, automatically in the News Feed, where it remains infinitely and can be retrieved anytime one logins in. That connection is a very nice thing. It's a link between readers and reads. A very important thing. Arguable more important than "exposure," though doubtlessly tagging more folks will tend to accomplish that goal and will hopefully lead to interesting conversation and invention.
