RE: Can we get a definitive list of the top 100 human commentators on the Steem blockchain in 2018?
I was pleased to see my name on the list. It is the kind of list I am pleased to find myself on, without me needing to see it at the top. I just like knowing that I am one of those who care enough to comment and encourage others (except for the very few who make me angry)
:)
If I had been asked to provide some names, I would have chosen a few who do not appear on the list, which goes to show that 'subjective' opinions are never as useful as factual, analysed facts. What do I mean? For instance, @deliberator (in my eyes) seemed to be all over the platform, not only helping people, but also spearheading some charitable causes - some out of his own pocket.
That, I guess, brings us back to the argument about the quality of the comments. Unfortunately, that kind of judgement takes us back to the subjective classification once more.
Thanks for this useful list, as it means I have an indication of a few posters I should check up on.
Hi @arthur.grafo
Thanks for your comments, I'm glad you see the list as a indication on who could be worth checking out. I think the list is 95%+ correct now, with regards to human commentators, and so you shouldn't go far wrong in opening a discussion with any of these names.
I wonder if you'd be interested in joining the Engagement League, I'd be happy to add you to the list if you wish?

Thanks for the invite and I am flattered. I think I would enjoy taking part, but I do not think I should.
I suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It is caused by repetitive action, such as typing, playing a guitar, working as a mechanic. I only fall under the first category. Sometimes I get carried away and post a few longer than usual comments and that night I have difficulty sleeping because of the pain.
Also, I find my memory is not so good anymore and I find my stamina weakening to the point where I need to take a break to nap for an hour halfway through my day (am 75 years old).
I foresee I will only be able to do less and less as time goes by - unless something drastic happens to change my life...like go to Russia for rejuvenation treatment :)
I have had some very generous offers since joining steemit, for instance, if I make certain posts, I'll get voted by the community, giving me an income which is better than I receive as a pension in S Africa, which is about US $125 pm. I had to turn them down - but turning you down costs me more, as I have a mania about wanting to help new posters, those I sense have talent and need help. Working with you would help me achieve that dream, but, I really cannot.
I can help, one at a time, posters I consider talented poets or authors of fiction (especially fantasy) - so if you find one you think I should help, please feel free to send me their link.
If I may, I would like to suggest someone who has talent, is a wonderful person and seems to have boundless energy. Why not invite @dreemsteem ?
hi again @arthur.grafo
I fully understand why you would not feel this a suitable under-taking, no hard feelings at all.
This comment alone shows me that you would do well, but it certainly sounds like it is not in your best interest to produce this length of comment, day in day out.
Hopefully @dreemsteem receives a notification of this offer and comments.
Thanks for your reply, have a great day :)
Hi there! Wow!!!! Thanks for the nod and for the list in the above post! I have been getting inundated with GINA notifications lately - and I didn't even see that this post had tagged me! I would have missed it altogether had @arthur.grafo not mentioned me in his comment :) (thanks Arthur!)
I've been insanely busy these past few weeks with juggling 2 temporary jobs - but they should clear up within the next two weeks! (hopefully???) hehehe
I will check out the post on the Engagement League! sounds intriguing!!!
Thank you @abh12345!!! What a fun little notification to get on my birthday! must have been meant to be! hehehehe
@dreemsteem
Χρόνια Πολλά - Happy Birthday (have you caught up with your daughter yet? - Kids nowadays seem to be born older...
oh... i think we are the same age now hehehehehe we love to giggle but her humor is so well-developed! She has me laughing ALL DAY LONG
THANK YOU for the birthday wishes! :)
Well a happy, possibly now belated, birthday to you!
It sounds like your schedule is pretty busy right now, but when you have a bit more time then I think it would be worth joining in the fun :D
