Hive account@carlnash - As a "newbie" who did not begin to "Steem" until almost two months after account registration, I very much appreciate your mentorship and generous hand-holding through the mysteries and difficulties of navigating the platform. Despite my ire, I have not given up on Steemit and continue to hope that issues and vulnerabilities can be resolved. I also feel that it is very important to recognize the witnesses and developers for their tireless efforts. Steemit isn't perfect, but those who are working to perfect it are doing a magnificent job for which they are probably under-appreciated and rarely thanked.
