I'm not really sure how to respond to your actual letter without sucking up, something I really don't like to do, so we'll try to avoid that.

I... appreciate the sentiment. I've had the same thoughts on the system, though I haven't implemented them (mostly out of laziness if I'm being honest with myself), and I've made sure to toss on that disclaimer when telling friends about STEEM/steemit. You're probably not gonna make money. Post if you like posting things, and if you get money that'll be nice too.

Which is basically my perspective on steemit. I joined because I looked at it and saw its potential, I stayed because I enjoy posting and interacting. Money is a side benefit - a very nice one, but a side benefit nonetheless.

To be honest that's basically all I have to say unless you happen to want to hear me blab on about some random side tangent because I tend to switch topics midsentence, specifically when I run out of things to talk about which can be rather annoying, though not quite as annoying as those really really really long run-on sentences, though you've probably never seen one of those before.

_{^{Oh by the way, I am in the process of convincing a friend to join steemit - he's of the artistic variety, knows a considerable amount about the doings here (from me) and mostly wants the incentive to draw more. Let's see if we can draw him in! (No pun intended)}}
