Although it is "older" by Steemit standards, I'm glad I came across this post!
You do a great service to the community (and to your members!) by listing everyone like this — not only because they get more exposure, but also because it helps those of us looking for quality "meaningful" content find a good reading list, and new people worth following.
This is an excellent (and sadly rare...) example of how well-executed manual curation becomes a win-win for many.
Bright Blessings!
