nothing personal...
EXACTLY nothing personal. Until now I haven't interacted with you on a PERSONAL level. You could have been a bot for all I knew. When I signed up I 'followed' everyone I could in the mistaken idea that I needed as many people as possible in my news feed. (Steemit doesn't come with a user's manual)...
I'm trying to re arrange that now. The only folks on my feed (those I follow) will be those I have had some interaction with and have a 'feel' for.
Refollowing..
The same happened with me. I am planning a small purge of dead accounts in the coming days too.
Love your work by the way.
