Thank you for your nice comment.
Plz, try to keep a gap of at least 30 minutes to post your articles consecutively. Yesterday, one of your post missed votes from my curation trails. I immediately manually upvoted it. Now, I repaired the glitch. Actually to avoid spam my bot doesn't cast vote same authors consecutive posts if there is no at least a 30 minutes gap. However, I enabled you now without any time frame. Because, I know you're really a nice person, spamming would not be possible by you in any situation. Enjoy :)
N.B. As I busy now I stopped commenting on my friends posts. Will do soon after finish my work. Have a nice day too. Thanks :D
