I apologize for the negative comment in the past. You seem to be a good guy Ned, so I trust in your vision of this platform. My two moments of kissing ass, because I apologize. Was a dumb comment, as you obviously work your tail off so that everyone here can succeed, hence the existence of steemit. You do a great job and I will continue to persuade real life flesh and blood humans to join this potential life changing platform.
SMT's are a great concept, bringing even more weight to the idea of "decentralization of power''. Even for someone new to this platform, relatively speaking. Once all my local friends realize this platforms full potential and join, (a lot have but are still in the waiting list or lost in limbo for weeks.. needs fixed) even I could create an SMT for my friends only if I wanted. (I think that's how they work.)
Regardless, keep up the good work, nice to have a face to a name.
