Thanks for clarifying the topic of upvoting your own comments. When I was a brand new Steemer, I saw one Steemer chastise another for upvoting his own comment. From then on I was leery of doing it, even though I saw the value of being higher on the page. I think I will start doing it then. Great post as always OD.Yes I see @eric-boucher all over Steemit! He is doing a very important role here and that is engaging. Although my posts don't make much, I stay for the interaction. The comments and the getting to make new friends with folks around the world is awesome!
