Hey, Mr. Ninja... Yeah, I surmised you knew of my transition and occasional input here way back then. It was during that period when I was trying to give this account away to a friend or relative, but each time, they quickly lost interest. I was helping to support that 'Short Story Writing Contest' and at one point decided to just give most of whatever was earned here away to other members, after the account was back in my hands again; by way of the contest prize pool.

It felt sort of weird, when I started to get a few same friends/followers here as with my main account (which was more successful) I never intended to be sneaky about the whole thing. Now, I'm just sort of holding it for the grandkid's future. Any one of them are welcome to take it over at any time, should they choose to do so.

I'd forgotten about steemit for a long time, like you... but last year I returned there for a short while to decide what to do with it. Thought it was time to start transferring funds to Hive. It was easy with that 'swap app' at first, but their servers went down in a fire; they never resumed the service.

That guy who seemed to want to mimic me on steemit, was real... Some digging indicated that it was someone with multiple accounts, possibly farming for votes/rewards. At first, I thought it was a joke. You can see how the similar looking user-name might cause conflict with members, thinking it was me, should the scoundrel attack them in some way.
