Thank you for this wonderful post Tom!

People may not know this, but donkeypong is one of the most humble people I have ever had the opportunity to meet. Not only is he a great author and curator, he is also a terrific behind the scenes guy who puts looking out for the community as a whole above his own personal interests on the platform. That is a quality we can all take a lesson from because after all, we want to shape this platform to be the best it can be, and we can't possibly rely on a single person to do that!

I'm also extremely thankful to donkeypong because of his almost altruistic tendencies to support real talent regardless of their race, background, content and even gender. As he has stated in the post, Steemit is a wonderful place for women to grow their audience and become independent of work place discrimination - something that much of the developing world still has serious issues with (China included!). It's one of the reasons why I really appreciate Steemit for having such a diverse end user base and I believe with only more awareness, things can get much better still!

Once again, thank you Tom for the wonderful post and mention!
