Great article.   When you come to steemit you do not know the etiquette and ramifications of your actions.   You try different things and grow.   This is a phenomenal platform and I hope we can all keep it that way.   I particularly appreciated the verbage in your article of  ' you'll be scraping off your own scabs, trying to sell them for ten cents to a bunch of people who don't want them.'   Thanks  for sharing. - Troy
