The only thing I 'copied' was the links. The rest was my own thoughts, and thoughts agreeing with someone elses thoughts. I'm sorry that my thoughts were like someone elses. I also mentioned that someone else mentioned the links already.
In no way did I copy and paste someone elses post. I am however, guilty of using that post to quickly copy the faq and welcome links, simply because I saw them there, as opposed to opening two tabs to get the link, but to say I copied and pasted the whole post, that is quite the accusation that is obviously not true. At best, I should apologize for redundancy, since the links were already there. I was merely emphasizing that those links will get you well on your way, since I have noticed many newcomers completely ignore those pages. It's like you've punished me for literally copying an URL. Either way, I'm sorry, but URL's are copy paste jobs 95% of the time. Take care & thanks for explaining why you downvoted.
I'm sorry, I have had a rough couple of days in the real world, and I made the mistake of thinking you copied the same comment, because I obviously wasn't thinking straight. :( I'm going to check out your profile and see if I can't give you a good vote somewhere. <3
Hey thank you! I really appreciate this. I have gained much respect! It's okay -- we all have rough days. I've had a rough year, so I can understand where you're coming from. I am one happy Steemian right now!
