Wow, what a welcome post you've crafted mountain! There's a couple things here I was unaware of and will be checking out for myself. Perhaps this is why you left me in the dust when it comes to rep and upvotes... well, and the extremely well-informed, educational gem posts you make. ;)

I'm "one of your favorite people on here"? Well shucks bud, thanks! You as well. Do you hang out at any discord groups based from steemit? I'll have to start stalking... I mean hanging out with you there. And I'd definitely want to buy you a beer if I'm ever in your neck of the woods next time I'm in the PNW.

Thanks for stopping by and giving my friend a warm and helpful welcome!
