You win the contest! Sorry my vote isn't worth more...why Tampa Bay? I don't know, I just have a weird habit of reading things backwards and I was watching a football game between the Giants and the Bucs and realized Tampa Bay backwards ended with "mat". 

This was back when AOL first was coming onto the scene and I needed to pick a username that no one had chosen before (since I didn't want to use numbers at the end) so I picked "yabapmatt", and that's been me ever since!

And why not? I had wondered about it but the additional 't' made me wonder, was it an initial? A location in TB?

I often make names from obscure technical references like `zero ring` or `synack`, sometimes I just like some permutation of a pop culture trope. And I enjoy discovering hidden meanings in handles, I've seen plenty here on steemit.

Your vote is your vote, and very gratefully received, you also have my vote for witness, steemit needs ethical mentors :)

**PS: Hey look at your payout for this post, _go you good thing!_**

The additional "t" is just because my name is "matt" with two "t"s. Nothing too exciting there unfortunately :-)

The post has such a high payout because I paid for it using the @buildawhale voting bot. It is run by @themarkymark and he puts up a lot of his own money to lease the huge amount of steem power it has. It's by far the best voting bot and he never uses it to promote his own posts like some others do.

When I first saw your name is when I notice TB & wondered about the 't' until this post.

Good to know how BAW operates, I've seen them before but never used. I wish I had more time to write on steemit.

Good luck with your witness campaign, I think you'll do well over time.

Thanks for the mention, @yabapmatt. 

 It is very important to me everyone has a fair shake, I can't guarantee the results, but I can guarantee we won't manipulate it.   I also try to go further than that.

Our daily Curation Digest is something we spend a lot of time on going through 400+ articles a day to find our five favorites.  

We reward an awesome author a few times a week with over $100 trail of votes with our Author of the Day.  

We have a [PreVote Club](https://steemit.com/buildawhale/@buildawhale/announcing-the-buildawhale-prevote-club) where we give our bidders additional votes for free and offer members the ability to share in curation rewards of a guaranteed vote incoming.

These services cost us a lot more time and money and are completely free with the use of @buildawhale.  We are also looking at more community building projects we can offer.
