So long story short - I was kindly asked by OCD curator @mobbs to put up some type of verification post that can identify my profile on Steemit @soulhiker with my real name Gilbert Ross and that both author names are the same person. This has been requested since I have written many articles elsewhere as Gilbert Ross and sometimes some of those articles are referred to here under my profile @soulhiker.
So I hope this helps to clarify a bit the point.
