Ned, it's great to have you here and we can't wait to show you how much we have to offer.

With our recent growth, and having recently been added to the official welcome page of Steemit.com, we are becoming one of the largest and best communities for new users on Steemit.

And that is the real key, the community itself. The spirit of learning and teaching, of helping and guiding. Our members help each other and it's why we have had so much success in such short period of time.

Everything from a weekly resteem contest, and multiple bots to help with curation of various mini-community efforts. The MSP-Waves Radio shows and their related contests and SP delegation prizes, and even Make-A-Minnow which does a large delegation prize to a single new user at a time.

We are so happy to have you here Ned, and we can't wait to have you be a part of our community as we grow.
Thanks
The MSP/PALnet Leadership Team
