It is very amazing we can beat out some of the bots

That's very true, bots as we know, most of them will leave a comment when they upvote a post and the amount of consolidated text will be huge in number, where as humans though write lesser number of comments, but they will be responding on the content to which they respond. So, the humans who have surpassed the bots definitely needs to be appreciated.

While I am honored, I am not a member of any of those wonderful communities

Oh, my apologies, yes, I could recollect you part of curation leagues. good to know you.

Have a great day @enjar
