@goldendawne, you took the words right out of my mouth!! I was raised on a farm where we saw a direct correlation between our time and effort put in, compared to the yield we took out; that too is how I see steemit. And as much as I hated farming as a teenager, I'm so appreciative of the work ethic it instilled in me as an adult.
@taskmaster4450, you drilled it home enough times here: post, comment, upvote. It is our only control here! And as usual, I appreciate your turning what appears to be a negative, into a big positive!
