I know you are happy with your decision. I'd almost respect it too.. (keyword: almost)

I get frustrated everytime I see the strikethrough on the post reward that you should deserve.

So you stay happy.
I stay frustrated.

Sounds like a plan. :)

Allow me to plant a seed of thought:

Why not accept the reward, and tally the funds, and spend it where it needs to go for the benefit of steem, projects, or users. I fully trust you to know what to do with it. :)
