Thanks! There's certainly a "selfish" part of me that knows (a) that it's a pain in the butt to have to "evacuate" 100s of articles when a site is about to shut down, (b) I hate having a lot of good content associated with a "crap" venue and (c) I understand and appreciate the VALUE of having a body of work published in ONE place for a LONG time. If you have to hop from one site to another, you lose a BUNCH of subscribers every time.

Hence, I want to see Steemit do well, in the long run. Blogging here is a long term investment in my writing. As such, I am fairly protective of the venue... and if I see things that threaten those long term aspirations, I am going to shine the light on them and do my part to make people pause and think about their actions.
