@scrooger,

When this 10,000 STEEM Delegation Contest is over, the first thing I'm going to do is get some sleep. The second thing I'm going to do, presuming I ever wake up, is do a deep dive into Qurator.

I keep hearing about your organization and I've got a few really good mates who are members. But, you know what it's like. There are a thousand things on Steemit I keep meaning to do. @dustsweeper is high on the list too.

Thanks again for the referral. I have rarely seem a group of people work so hard to earn a thing as have the Power House Creative folks to earn this delegation. You should see our Discord Channel ... you'd think we were in the midst of the Normandy Invasion. There are so many people in that group trying to make Steemit a success that it's hard not to be inspired in spite of it all.

You know, you should keep in contact with @jaynie and @zord189. Different groups of smart, honorable people CAN and WILL find ways to collaborate. Let's deliberately look for an excuse. BTW, if collaboration is of interest to you, find out what a "braii" is before chatting with @jaynie. If she even suspects you don't know, you're in for an earful.

As I know you and Your House share the sentiment, I leave you with the following:

Measured Our Mettle

Not dog in a fight, but fight in a dog,
Some dogs, refuse they to yield,
Will not they give ground, will not they back down,
Refuse, these dogs to be heeled.

And though they be small, their shadows are tall,
For might, is measured in heart,
Burns something inside as odds they’re defied,
As courage, it sets them apart.

So too it with Men, as One becomes Ten,
Such Men, refuse they to kneel,
Draw they a sword to face it a horde,
As heart, it strengthens their steel.

Perchance they are fools, or know not the rules,
Perchance, they cannot do math,
Gallant, their splendor; will not they surrender,
Tempting a larger man’s wrath.

And so it is now, refusal to bow,
A fight, for STEEM to survive,
We’ve earned it our place with grit and with grace,
As ever, for Greatness, we strive.

Fight not we for FLAGS, but for right to it brag,
That We … Do Not Compromise,
Measured our mettle in refusal to settle,
For GREATNESS, our banner it flies.

And so must you choose which thing to infuse,
Which thing, will Steemit inherit,
We need it Your Vote and the thing it connotes,
Blockchain … go base it on Merit.
