Both of you are correct on this point. I do resteem, occasionally, but not as much as @goldendawne. A big reason for it is exactly what @felander said. The past several days, I have been unable to pay much attention to my feed because there is one person (whom I follow and like very much) that is trying to help a contest by resteeming everyones post for it. That is great and I applaud them for helping so many people. But I have been unable to find the posts of all my favorite people because my whole feed is nothing but these resteems, lol.
With that said, I do occasionally resteem, especially if it is a topic that I think helps a lot of people, like this post of @goldendawne. I am resteeming it, asap.
This is a perfect example of why the steemit developers need to take into consideration for a new updated format for organization.
I mean, I have my email set up that as soon as I reply to an email or need to save an email, it goes into its assigned folder. If we could have a way to NOT let resteems effect other people's feed, etc it would be a STUPENDOUS accomplishment on the developers behalf.
