Hi, so many have been helpful here. I have a list, but I will name the person responsible for my first curie: @veckinon. I was such a newbie, with no Rep and no SP. He said he became a curator so he could sponsor me. I think that one event anchored me in Steemit.
@asapers (@insideoutlet & @shai-hulud #asapers) was also very helpful. They come out of nowhere and help people. It was, is, such a nice community. In the last year I've discovered others that are helpful and fair:

@celfmagazine
@steemstem
@c-squared @carlgnash #c-squared

Thanks for running this contest. Feels good to say thank you.
