Hi, I'm sorry about that, but I asked someone involved in the exclusion analysis to check into this, and it looks like your account was proxied to zzhang at the time of the hardfork, and that account was voting for Justin Sun's sock puppet witnesses that were used to takeover the Steem chain. This is why your account was excluded from the Hive airdrop.
I suspect that you probably weren't the only person to proxy their vote to zzhang without realizing exactly what they were doing, and I know that zzhang offered some sort of reward for doing so.
I often think that the vote proxy feature is a bad one, because it lets people pass their power on to others, without necessarily fully understanding the significance of doing so.
On the other hand, it seems you are still proxied to zzhang on the Steem chain, so I suppose you may still be ok with their voting choices. If so, I can't be entirely sympathetic, since they voted for taking Steem funds from many Steem accounts, including my own.
