What a great initiative @tcpolymath! It warms my heart seeing posts like this :) I wish I had the SP to join in, although thankfully with delegations, I have surpassed 500 ;) Thank you for doing this.
I read through the comments and I just wanted to plug davemccoy who is totally deserving of this, bashadow is that guy who upvotes and comments all over the place, and also thedarkhorse. I've been a judge in his curation contest for 10 weeks now and we upvote and comment on the entry and also the 3 steemians that the entrant features. Anything "curation" is great in my books, but obviously, your hand in asapers tells me you're in agreement. Being able to curate for asapers has been such a pleasure for me as well; finding those quality unnoticed posts and shining a bit of light on them is such a worthwhile task.
Cheers!
Jumping in here to echo this, since I was about to second the recommendations for @davemccoy, @bashadow, and @thedarkhorse. All three are tirelessly dedicated to helping new users and your support @tcpolymath would certainly be used to pass around to new users struggling to get started.
At the risk of beating a dead horse, I'd also like to nominate @davemccoy. I've told him this directly, but if we didn't somehow find him in the beginning (or maybe he found us?) both me and my wife @suitcasemama would have bailed on Steemit long ago. I've also bumped into @thedarkhorse more recently through the Pay It Forward posts. They're both undeniably community focused - I'd love to see them more supported!
