Yeah. You are absolutely correct. I just thought I would put it out there for 24-48 hours and see what happened. I was actually about to switch it to a bunch of smaller requests (maybe 4 x 2K and a few 4 x 500HP).
But this is a learning account to see how things work and report back :)
Thanks for the input and I'll be following your advice fairly soon .... I'd just want to make sure my curation trail following is properly setup first ;)
