>Well, if you want to know the real story-behind-the-story, I had noticed you in my travels before you showed up at the door.

I didn't know that.  I saw.. '*this is my standard rejection reply*'.. from the 'cat', but then he seemed to have second thoughts... haha.. its so long ago now and the memory kind of makes me smile.

I had similar issues with @qurator, but for different reasons. I don't really follow them anymore, but still give them a vote for a vote.

>I've used your name and the word "irony" in our server lately. This is part of it.

I did see, though I don't interact much on discord now.

>As to whether or not your experience would work in today's world -- probably not in the same way.

I will keep an eye out, due to the crap price of STEEM many are unwilling to put in the effort, so finding the potential is harder. It could be there, but at 40c per.. compared to $2.80 per.. when I started, that $ holds some sway.

>Did you know someone (besides me) who was impressed enough to put your name and content up for consideration back in the day?

I knew nobody when I started, and did it the hard way. Glad I did TBH, boot camp hardens you and makes you learn.
