Well, as much as I respect your choice. There is one slight inaccuracy on here I feel compelled to correct. You got an honorable mention from me last week.

I realize that does not mean $120 SBD payout, but It's also not something that connects with the idea that none of the judges care about your entries.

However, I will say, and I say this with as much respect as I possibly can. I do believe that spending $25 per trip to a church to record entries is not a good plan. Regardless of the quality of the piano or the acoustics of the place.

In this place nothing is guaranteed to us, and how could it be? the vast majority of the Steem Power is concentrated at the top. I will be specific because I know that you are smart and that you will get this quickly.

My full upvote can give someone 14, 15 cents. Lets say all judges, all six of us upvote a post 100% we may be able to get it to $3 SBD.

Now, its unreasonable, unrealistic and unfair that we would even attempt to do that, because midway through we would run out of Voting Power and leave at this point hundreds of accounts with 0.02 or less.

This is to say, the soup (if you entertain my analogy ) has more liquid than meat, but we do our best to make sure everyone gets at least a small bowl.

You might not like what I'm about to say, you might even react in anger to my words, but I don't mean them with any ill intent.

It's hard for people to sympathize with this type of post/plea, to some, those who are also participating of this uphill climb, might think you are not acting in your own best interest and they might be quick to dismiss you all together.

As you read my words, picture a man who is smiling back at you. I'm not upset, not in the slightest and every single word I've written has been with the intent to help you understand our position.

In any case, best of luck with your future endeavors.
