That's an interesting development and it only shows that there is a lot of space where SMTs can be successful.
I'd also like to mention something unrelated. I just nominated you for a simple one-post challenge I'm trying to start and I really hope you wouldn't mind. It has a contest aspect to it, but everybody, especially nominees should feel absolutely free not to participate in the contest or challenge. But I would really love it if you decided to do the challenge (which is to make a post of your best 5 posts from 2017). I know this is going to be especially hard for someone as productive as yourself, but I would certainly love to read it!
Once again, apologies for tapping you on that unannounced, I really hope you don't mind!
