Hi Kate-m, thanks for the comment!
Back in the early days in the oil industry when finding oil was essentially based on surface geology (things like oil seepages, tar pits, and a whole mess of other ridiculous reasons) and a person who would drill wells in hopes of striking oil in areas where people thought an oil field existed, were known as a wildcatters. I thought the name was kind of a cool parallel to what I am trying to do on Steemit, in a way.. The biggest difference being that I am doing this more for leisure rather than to get rich quick.
Ah! Totally different to what I might have imagined! -Good one!
