Thank you very much @sajan.rai... spread the word!!!

I knew you would get it @glenalbrethsen... I have looked at your profile and saw that you made all your money from the comments (if I remember right you don't post at all, you just comment)... I'm impressed by that and you validated what was happening to me.  I post to get the messages out, but I get far more upvotes when I go talk to others and "chime in" to their posts.

I'm glad you are planning on sticking around too... I also have that plan.  While its still really early in the life of a social network, the potential to be much larger is exciting... And I'll be okay with just meeting people like you.  I see you're a smart guy with good insight. (and lol, that's not just because you commented here either) ;)

I am relatively new here and have also noticed that my money comes from the comments I make and not necessarily my posts.  I guess it's just a matter of getting a following so to speak and getting to know others here!

Thanks @therosepatch... and I haven't been able to use @resteemable either... I have been trying to find out what is happening, but with no luck... Maybe @resteemable will see this and give us an answer ;) ... they are a great service for us "smaller" fish, so I'm sure they will be up again soon as soon as they finish their maintenance... If you hear anything, let me know too bc I use them all the time to help out other people's posts (and mine too!).

@resteemable is back up now... I thought you might like to know ;)

Of course I will use the bee pic... It is something I post proudly because my friend gave it to me  :) 

And glad you liked the article, I believe you will spread the message ;) 

ps... way to go, you took a huge jump in reputation (that's exactly what I want to see!!!)

The good think about this place is we actually do care that you succeed.  Its pretty cool and I personally love it.  I have no idea what mistakes you made, but I guarantee you they aren't important to you achieving success.  Mistakes made are by definition in the past, and the past is irrelevant to what lies ahead.

Glad to see you here @unicornvomit and I'm happy we maintain communication and a connection.  I'm always here to help you too (and I would imaging you would be there for me too).

it happens to me too professor, it is nothing to do with you and how many comments or upvotes you do.  The system is straining because of all the new people and at certain times of the day it is unusable for the low bandwidth people like us (i'm usually down 8 hrs a day)... The good thing is that it seems to work in the evening very fast (I'm in NC), so I prepare my post for the day while its down and then do other things.  Then when it come back on, then I get back on it... You can check the meter to see your bandwidth at www.steemd.com/@professorhobo ... Try to hang in there and not get too frustrated because you are not alone in the frustration.  I hear about it from many, but I always tell people to look at the bigger picture.

That was a good link you sent me yesterday, thanks!

Thank you so much my friend :)  That is sweet... I love talking to you every day too... Especially your commentary about John ... lol

and ps... good job on the @originalworks ... I speak about it often but hardly anyone ever does it for me lol... I notice who my good teammates are ;)

Thank you so much for such a great comment that gives me a lot of understanding into who you are and what you stand for.  I completely agree with you and encourage you to make your own post about topics like this because you simply understand it.  A lot of people take for granted that everyone understand what they themselves understand, but that is simple not the case.  I can see you are going to do real well here and I think you are one of the "good" ones that will rise.  I look forward to working with you and I hope you stay in touch!

I appreciate that @futuredigicoin that is a very cool comment you made.  I'm glad you liked it and explained your situation.  I will go read you post right now so I don't forget, but thank you again for the validation and passing along other information that you find useful.  That's what I'm trying to get people to do btw... Cheers

Thanks Todd, I always like to hear from you... And I know you are one of the ones that actually read it... In a sense you are the guy I have in my head when I write because I truly think you will "get" the message.  Thanks again and lets keep moving forward one step at a time!

That is very cool Clive and I really appreciate the compliment.  I agree with you about this site and I think you too will be a leader here.  I am very excited to work with you and to help you get bigger by also helping others to get bigger.  Its a virtuous loop and its pretty powerful when you think about it.  Stay in touch!!!

Thank you Lynn I'm glad you have your nice picture now in your icon... Its nice to put a face to a @lynncoyle1 lol... And I have seen it, but if it makes you feel better I am very very happy that you thought to send me that link.... It is cool, and I am evaluating the different bots... I have found just a few that can return 3x or higher consistently... I think some of them play games so I'm trying to figure out who does what.  I have had good success with @steembloggers though and I'm interested in moving my trial up to see how it scales.  If you try any of them, let me know because honestly I could use all the input from my teammates I can get.  There are lots of awesome things to learn here, and we are just in our infancy when you think about it.

Thanks again for thinking of giving me a good idea and as usual, I like to hear from you every time.  

Let me know if you try @bumper and if you have any problems or need me to help further, just let me know :)

haha yes I have, I was so happy that she took the time to do that for me... and thank you so much beeyou... I love your name, its so true :) ... thanks for the compliment and just having you stop by and comment is awesome!  have a wonderful day!!!

thank you very much @sbyse that is quite a good compliment... And I'm glad you gave me your background here so that I quickly could get to know you.  I can see with this simple post that you are going to rise very very fast.  

You are also "bang on" lol ;) and I welcome you to borrow any thing that I do or have done.  I am planning on recruiting teachers/coaches/mentors to do many of the things I've done so that they can spread the word and help others grow in each respective time frame.  I would love nothing more than to see you writing a series of #quicktips and populating that hashtag with the tips I'm trying to share.  I have the thoughts loosely in my mind, but I encourage you to be a teacher/coach/mentor to your generation of newbies and will be happy to support you with ideas or help if you would like to do this.

I am very happy you connected to me and lets stay in touch for sure!  Have a wonderful weekend!

I only got a .33 upvote, I hope you made an honest mistake.  And either credit me back 0.10 or make it up on another post.  I love your concept and if you deliver I will be one of your biggest supporters and fans.  Here is the copy of the upvote to show you:

Please check your records and let me know if it was an honest mistake.  Thank you.
