Thank you, @bashadow. I'd like to extend the weeks a little farther, but we'll see. There's plenty of competition going on, and with new people being added every week, there's always the element of surprise. I can't keep up with everything everyone is doing, so it's just easier to put my head and down and run. Congratulations with being added into the Top 10, I mean, 11. :)

Yes it was nice of him, and of the people that helped him reward more people, increases in pay-outs, and surprise rewards, I thought that was rather nice of him. I am going to try to up my game this week a little bit see if I can re crack the top ten, I did a lot of voting last week, but no where near my normal commenting, was just so busy. But it is spring, and the bees is being busy, so when the weather is nice got to enjoy it, winter is coming, again, all to soon.
Thank you for the comment, it reminded me to pop over to your page, and then I see Dragrosa's 30 day challenge, I may make a few entries, at the very least I will likely drop some comments on the ones that interest me.
Oh, yeah. The 30 Day Writing Challenge has been great. Quite a few people participating with I'd say good posts, too. I had to sit out on the one about five cryptos I have, because I don't have more than STEEM, and really no interest in them. One is more than enough, as volatile as they are. I guess I found my risk aversion limit. :)
Well, as long as you were a good busy, as opposed to a boring busy or a rather-do-anything-else busy, then I'd say you were productive and that it was worth it. I look forward to seeing how you do this week, then, when you're not so busy with other things.
Oh, I am still going to be busy with other things, but this week if I vote, I speak. Last week due to time pressures, I missed a lot of commenting. Tried to also help out some dust votes, so those did not get any thing said on them, but this week I think if I run across any again I may just say screw it and sound like a robot and mention it to the ones I raise up, but a few of the people I mentioned it to did not like me doing that, and one called me a vote police, (I muted that person), so still not sure how I am going to handle it, cause I don't want the voter to feel bad about giving a vote, and I don't want to sound like a Judge,Jury, and executioner of their voting habits. So I just have to play it by ear. (I wonder where that phrase originated)?
Oh, okay. I ran across one of the posts you were trying to tell people about the dust threshold. If I remember right, their reactions were more to them self-upvoting, which wasn't your point. Oh, well. What can you do? If people don't want to listen, or misunderstand, there's only so much time you can spend explaining yourself.
Play it by ear? Or judge, jury and executioner? Play it by ear is actually related to music, which makes sense. Being able to play based on what you hear rather than by notes. I looked up the origination. Looks like it was first used in 1839 in a newspaper comparing two women (not sure what they were doing, but apparently something to do with music), while the wider use of it didn't come into play (literally and figuratively) until maybe the 1930s, in another newspaper talking about the Brooklyn Dodgers, whom the writer thought 'played by ear' as opposed to, I guess, playing with a plan. :)
Leave it Brooklyn to do things differently. I wonder how many times that bridge has been sold.
