You raise the same argument that @mitneb did raise earlier on.
One thing that you didn't mention was that there is a legitimate reason for upvoting your own comment immediately after posting: that would be to push it closer to the top of the comments......
Ever since writing the article, i have since become informed by arguments consistent to the one you here make. I have to say, with foresight now, and the information you here so aptly give
@mitneb did touch on the same, but you have here expounded the rationale...this whole thing about bots and automation as you so aptly say. I agree. The reasons you say justify it.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Thank you and you're very welcome. I think the key is to go back and remove your own upvote to keep it on the up and up. Sometimes I may forget to do that, but usually I do not. I have a couple high trending post replies right now as examples. At first I upvoted myself. Then I removed the vote. Thanks for this quality guide again! It's always great to meet another person fighting for the same cause.
I am glad, and very much honored by your thoughtful discourse here. For all its worth, i am following you now. Rest assured i will be an ACTIVE follower.

Thanks! It's hard to keep up with a feed, so perhaps come to the official steemit.chat channels? They make networking and updating people much easier.
I am already in steemit.chat. same names as here. Let me look you up shortly. Thanks
