Hahaha... I love it Maverick! A loner in the wide world of Steemit.
I use to think as you do, but the natural evolution for the individual was to the family, then community. Protection, resource sharing, specialisation.
I certainly don't think of us as a 'mere vote-sharing group' and nor do the members.
You have balls mate. If you ever change your mind and decide you want to be part of a solid and supportive community within Steemit... you know where to find us. 😊
