Really?  Then why don't you volunteer your time to help code it, since you're so sure that this is a "relatively easy addition".

Do you have prior experience coding such a large scale system like this?  Things that "seem easy" may not be easy.  It's not just technical perspectives. There's also social and political perspectives and other things that need to be addressed. Also since steem is a decentralized chain, it requires consensus which also takes time.

What really annoyed me is you're cynical view of the problems and how you've threaten to no longer post.  For every 1 person that walks out the door, there's 250 coming in.  Like any new "early bird" system, there always has to be the select few naysayers about how this won't work.

I bet you when Facebook first came out, there were people who groaned "oh god! whats this? a facebook? oh please.  This is so stupid. no one will ever join. Facebook will go nowhere". They must have heard this thousands of times in the early days.

While some of your concerns are valid.  Referring to people involved in steem as being the equivalent of a "circle jerk" is not only crude, but downright insulting.  Aka, my response.

Here's one for you: This is my "last reply" on your post.  I don't want to circle jerk with you either. How's that a nice way of conveying a thought?  I just learned it from you.
