Hi tradewonk, 

Thank you for the nice message, it is true that it is up to us that we want to learn or not.  When I explain to my friends about steemit , I am proud that I can give some great opportunity to them and I never get upset if they want to learn or not , it depends on them not me.  I never give up to learn and know more thing about steemit.  It is my new world I just start to join steemit last month.  And I am happy to know more thing and more new friends around the world.
