I don't use any of the autovoters any more, either. I found that using them acts as a sort of separation between myself and the posters as I just wouldn't read too many of them. Now, everyday, I have a small coterie of Steemers that I visit, as do you.

Great call out on the follow-up comment voting. I have not yet achieved Slider Status. In trying to keep my voting power up, I limit my votes to 20, or so, each day. With about 25 people I check out each day, I have just enough fire power to reward their posts and to upvote a post that I may craft, as well. That's doesn't leave me with anything to use to reward great replies as of yet. (Most of those I follow post just about every day.)

I appreciate you and the fat that you reply to just about every comment I make. Of course, I do try to post thoughtful comments, or at least something funny, instead of just 'nice post' or great pic... lol

Once I achieve my slider, however, you can bet that although I'll likely expand my circle, I'll be rewarding good replies, to! Cheers, and thank you for being such a loyal and most interesting friend!
