I agree with your comment. However, from a logistical sense, maintaining a list with people who seem to have dropped steemit gets unwieldy. You are correct that their continued existence as members does no benefit nor harm. It just seems inaccurate to list them as members if they are gone.

As for people who access the bot but never post about metals again... this is also a problem. But today I am tackling low hanging fruit first. ☺️

As for the vote trail, your reasoning is why I delegate.
