I understand the point you're making. I know that Steemit team encourage power ups that's why I have never powered down, always up 100%. But you'll notice I powered down everything even though it's very small except what I delegated to a community. So my opinion is that the curators don't need to rub it on the person's face that he's powering 2 cents down as if it's a bank heist. It would have been more polite to observe and move away.
All the same I appreciate your time and comments and encouraging upvote. I want to believe the post is educative after all, isn't it?
Steemit is for learning, besides earning. That's my thought each time I'm making a post.
Thanks all the same @inspiracion
