    A great look back at some of your "best" bits Rowan! But one thing particularly hit the nail on the head and something I've learned is what you said here:

    It is important not to take yourself too seriously in this life, and I think that goes doubly with something like steem

    If you can't laugh at yourself then you're setting yourself up for a world of misery! Keep steeming mate, hope the "whore-ca" month is treating you well haha!

    Happy new year and all the best for 2020!

      Happy new year m8ty, and all the best.

      I had my celebration early as I organise a festive pub crawl every year for all my old friends who've moved away from Liverpool, but come back at Christmas to visit family and such.

      Last night was a bit of an epic 3am drinking session so probably gonna just watch films tonight lol

          Ha ha, yeah I forgot to mention that I was thinking of m&s 'not just any old spuds' potato range 😉

          Thanks for checking out the horror story. It's one of my biggest pet peeves about steem, that with the 7 day window, posts are effectively dead after that time unless you publish them elsewhere. Hope you enjoy the creepy story m8 👍

            I did! It was very good dude. You have a flair for the macabre!!

            It is one of my biggest peeves too. All gone after three or four days but totally dead after a week

              Cheers dude. I do love writing a grizzly tale.

              All gone after three or four days but totally dead after a week.

              Yeah, I'd be temped to write an open letter to one of the steemit.Inc team asking them to brainstorm with the community a mechanism to encourage more readers to visit posts in perpetuity. At the moment showcase Sunday is the only option. But I've been conditioned (through working as a curie curator) to see reposting as a big no no.

              The other thing I'd really like to see is the various front ends implementing integration with brave browser to allow steem content creators to be tipped on page with BAT. Shit, even twitter allows tipping with BAT... but I'm not sure I'd ever want to tip someone's tweet that took them 30 seconds to think up... but a well written blog, or story, is a different matter. I think steem is the perfect platform to partner up with brave. Not sure why they haven't done it already.

              Ha ha, I might try hijacking the comment thread on one of stincs posts... not sure they'll take any notice of me though, probably shouldn't have pissed andrachy off on the 'how we're gonna onboard the masses' stinc post.

                Gruesome = good!

                Haha, did you cross swords on that post?

                It might be worth it. The perform with those parts is that the contents section becomes unnavigable after a while as everyone chimes in!
