RE: Wailing About Whales And Other Steemit Tales: RETRACTION
Hey, @janton.
I'm not sure about the 'tremendous' part. Buggedout made me aware of something I overlooked when I went checking whales for witness votes. Turns out, seven more use witness proxies (that's the whale—haven't checked the orcas), and so their voting doesn't show up in the witness vote tab on Steemworld where I got the information. And I'm afraid it does change things. The question is, does that constitute something bad? I'm not immediately inclined to believe so, but in a couple cases, the proxies are odd (low SP, probably dead fish accounts), and a couple have more than one layer, as in a proxy with a proxy.
So, now I'm wishing I'd just stayed away from the whole thing because I need to retract numbers and my conclusions. And in doing so, end up drawing unwanted attention, probably. :)
Good thing I have experience with retractions.
sir Glen...good thing you have experience with retractions...lol. that's funny but it's not funny. Sorry to hear that. Now you're going to try to get it more correct or just retract it?
I've added a retraction to the top of the post. Correcting it would take more work than it's already worth, and at this point, it's just better to let it die. As far as I know, it's been resteemed once, so it could be kicking around some feeds still, but it really shouldn't draw any more attention.
oh ok sir Glen that sounds right, I doubt if you'll get any grief over it.
