Nice to read words of encouragement @exyle, from a "veteran" whose "been through the wars" of disbelief, doubt, skepticism, etc. And just kept on going ... Means a lot to a "newbie" like myself.

When you catch up on your reading comments addressed to you, you'll find that I followed through on my commitment (an exchange between us in a previous post of yours several days ago ...) and vote for you (blockbrothers) as a Witness.

Your input to what I say there is welcome. It is important to me.

Thank again @exyle for doing all you have done in setting an example for the rest of us.

P.S. Portrait below not meant so much to draw attention to myself, but (to spell it out for others ...) to highlight what our Steem Community represents to us all.

Specifically, supporting fellow Steemians like @skyleap, who drew this, although we live on almost the opposite sides of the planet!

As a result of this great example of what I considered to be a "mutually beneficial transaction," I wrote a business review to do my small part to boost @skyleap's prospects for the future.

Not possible without our Steem blockchain ...
