The specific issue to which I was referring was the rigid $500 cap. I think that it's great that anyone can offer potentially beneficial suggestions on how to improve steemit, and just happen to disagree with this specific proposal by @craig-grant, though I am pleased that he has used his freedom to share his thoughts.

Your proposed solution is, in my opinion, a better idea.

Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for giving me the opportunity to clarify. - @papa-pepper
