Why are you not really enthusiastic about receiving a delegation?
I'm in general terms not really interested in having only a few hundreds SP. Since I don't think having a $0.03 upvote or something similar will really get you somewhere. So one only needs enough SP to prevent bandwidth issues.
Oh, I don't know. Of all things that go on here, delegations are probably better than most. I just know if I had one of significant size for a decent period of time, say three months, that at the end of those three months when the delegation went back, I'd feel like I was almost starting over. It would be great while it lasted, and it could act as a motivator to try to do more.
Yet, there's only so much you're going to be able to do with the time you have to get anywhere, and so it just seems like I'd be on borrowed time. I don't like that.
I'm trying to do this as much as I can through just posting, commenting and curating, without really any other outside help other than what would come through upvotes. And of course, some comments and bounties here and there.
As I said, it's not like bidbots or self-upvotes or however else there is for people to go about trying to get ahead, so who knows. I might change my mind at some point. I just know the amount of SP I had for a week wasn't enough to continue to want it or to change my mind about having one.
