Superdank,
Thanks for the compliment on my post. I feel compelled to tell you that I don't think it is productive in the long term to pay for upvotes. I prefer that my posts sink or swim on their own merits. I agree with you that I deserve steemit success. Perhaps it's just my own ego. We all deserve it if we put in the effort. For me it's all about community , community, community. They say you can't buy love. I think the same thing applies here. It is my belief that you really can't buy your way to success with SDB. But hey... I have been wrong before. Perhaps you will prove me wrong.
Thanks again for the compliment and taking the time to replyi to my post.
