I very much appreciate you doing this. It clearly takes a lot of effort, and unveils an aspect of Hive that many users need to better understand.

Thanks!

I have survived losing everything I own more than once, so I'm not dying on this hill one way or the other. I have been accruing goodwill for a long time, and my enemies only want money. It's very heartwarming to have my neighbors stepping up to protect me. It's such a dramatic contrast to the last time I was robbed by fraud, betrayed by women that swore they'd love me forever and watching them rob me of my financial assets I deployed to defend us, to seeing defenses now arising from without, from people I have asked nothing of, whom owed me nothing for the services I have provided them without expectation of anything in return.

Help and encouragement is emerging from the woodwork - from people I didn't even know a week ago. The corporation will spend more than it gets if it defeats me, but I will land on my feet no matter what happens.

Gah! I didn't copy that information. Please email it to me. Frankly, I was shocked you posted it here. I am still dealing with a backlog of service requests I delayed until hunting season was over, and the further exacerbation of the corporate swine of my lack of time.

I'm always grateful for this information, thank you. More people really need to see these reports. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

Really interesting data. Seems like just a few big accounts are doing most of the DVs.
