ah, and one more thing. I've got about 4 posts in for every one of yours ...each one of those posts (which does include comments) is a chance at another upvote.
Someone wrote a good post about your actions on Steemit representing a lottery; each time you comment or post, you have a chance to win a payout, so the more you participate, the better your chances of "winning".
Now I need to dig that up and provide that link and give credit where it is due.
I am listening and trying, thanks for the feedback.
