Thank you Steve. I see the 5k SP point as a personal marker for me to show commitment to the platform and to allow me to give a more useful level of voting support particularly to newer steemians.
Whenever I see a decent post with little or no reward I try to give it some vote reward regardless of whether it is a subject of interest to me or not. I remember from my early days how discouraging it can be when you have spent a couple of hours or more putting together a good post only to see it disappear into the void.
I was hoping I might get to 14k this year, but may be slightly short. It's just a number. I've been piling on the SP lately
