No prob. Gave you a couple full upvotes as well, will (hopefully!) pay out some rewards to keep things running. I see you have crumbs over on Blurt. I'm sending you 10 over there as well to encourage you to make a post and comments.
I've talked for years how we need to make it easier for new people to get started. Anything that gets in the way of the process is to be minimized. It's incredibly frustrating to have an account somewhere but not enough of some sort of power source in order to make use of it. It feels like censorship, and a trap. Makes me a little claustrophobic just thinking about it! Not a good start, that's for sure.
