Also i wanted to add about my comment:
"i don't think its a good start to just value someone over their steempower"
I've noticed a lot of resentment and bitterness on steemit over the last week and have also come under attack myself about things. I just feel people need to connect to the person and not just concentrate on the power side of things. It doesn't mean i am ungrateful for the support, just that i don't want people to miss the point of steemit being a people platform where we support each other. Nobody is asking someone to personally put their hand into their wallets and hand over money. It's all about support and personal connections... for me anyway.. maybe my arty side coming out haha.
Anyway enough about the serious side haha! Not long till the draw! :)
