Thanks very much, @qurator! I really appreciate it. I followed a link to you from @enazwahsdarb in his recent post promotion article. There are a lot of details that I am reading in your comments here about automated upvoting, but I have not had a chance to read more about it yet. I will ask some questions if I still have some after I have spent some of my own time researching. I would really like to join with great groups of people who are interested in quality content. My resources are limited to what I have earned so far, so I have to be strategic in my choices in this early stage of my Steemit career. Real people interaction is important to me, and so far this looks like one of the strong suits of this group, so I am planning on becoming a member here. (But I am secretly hoping to be the winner of the lifetime membership that @enazwahsdarb is offering as a prize, so I am waiting for the results of his contest first, haa, haa!)
