Hi @tmayd, You deserved better but this was all I could do for now.

I very much appreciate the thought. The esteem of one's fellow human beings is at heart more precious and a more accurate measure than the materialistic rewards that one may derive.
( The Steemit reward system is a little screwy, where you see mediocre posts that earn disproportionately large rewards with an impossibly high number of votes within the first few seconds.)
