Yeah, exactly, that's why I'm seriously thinking of moving on from this platform. It often seems like if I don't have a certain username, or high enough SP or reputation, people won't even bother opening my posts. Especially now with the incoming new members, more people are going to be making it all about themselves. No place in the Steemit sea for an old minnow like me haha

I'm proud of the friends I've gathered through the comments. Their continued support is what keeps me coming back. Once I figure out a way to continue the communication beyond the platform then it's all good.
