Hi Glen, thanks for the shoutout! The leagues are definitely an important part of Steemit, and a great way to encourage those who come here with genuine aspirations to "build something."
I only added myself four weeks ago... because I was curious to see how "significant" what I've already been doing for the past year and a half would be, in the group like this; I'm definitely "quietly pleased with myself" that my efforts place me in the top-25.
Hey, @denmarkguy. It's a good "quietly pleased with yourself" to be. And also a good feeling to know that you've been going about it in good fashion, too. Even if you are pretty sure of the way forward, it's nice to have confirmation of it at some point, as well as to see how you might be doing or not doing, based on some benchmarks.
I wish I'd come across the leagues much sooner, or been smarter about it to begin with. I think it would have saved me some ranting and disappointment. Or maybe not. Those things seem to be inherent on STEEM anyway. :)
