Not that you are viewing my comment but just in case...you are absolutely right, I am a sock puppet based off my original account on Disqus. Back when I started blogging about five years ago I didn't know it wasn't wise to use your name, I wasn't using my full name just my first initials and last name. After our local station came out and went to using FB instead of Disqus as a blogging platform instead of blogging on FB I decided to go out and investigate what else was on Disqus, that's when I changed my name and avatar. So I will give you Kudos for that guess but you can also go to Disqus and look me up and see I've been around for quite some time before coming to Steemit. After you are done with that you can go back where I started, a few days after funbobby51 who talked me into coming onto Steemit and see where I made several jokes about the prospects of becoming rich on here. You can view comments that himself and I made to each other back then. I often do though attribute the fact that I signed up one day and was approved the next here whereas everyone else said it took them days to weeks as being a high reputation well known blogger on the Disqus platform...I wouldn't find it unlikely that some people who blogged on Disqus came to the Steemit platform long before I did and there may be a few people behind the scenes here who may have been acquainted with my Avatar, that's just a guess on my behalf as why such a quick approval. What a vest is, what it does, where it comes from, what it means is all a mystery to me, might as well be speaking a foreign language as far as that goes. Don't you think by now, a full year and something if I was an insider I'd done had much more of a substantial gain then like eighty nine steem? Be real man.

There's no better place to find drama and/or inside quirks then to read flagged post. You don't know how many times over the last year people have asked me where I find this or that out at, that's because I read all the drama, they don't probably because it doesn't pay because it's flagged. I really get a kick out of you guys, and as much as you guys hate it I get a kick out of Bernie. I was truthful with Smidge when I said that a few days ago, I adore Smidge, one of the funniest people on here whether it's a Bernie fight or a snarky comment on other post and I should have told him/her that so I am thinking they think I hold Bernie in some sort of higher regard but that simply isn't true, all of you contribute to the chain in your own unique ways, how any of you got where you are with Bernie is a guess at best on my part...when it comes to valued customer I know it just had something to do with something said between them because I have followed him for a long time, engaged with him many times, he's an intelligent individual, I don't always agree with him but I am not going to stop communicating with someone whom I've been engaging with for a long time because he possibly got on someone else's bad side, I am one hundred percent sure that's what happened whereas with others I am not so sure. All I know for sure is that you guys can wake up an otherwise mundane list of comments when you pop in and out. I never said I don't stick my nose in other people's business, what I said was financial business unless something draws me to be curious. All I was asking, in reality, of you was why should I be alarmed that you show someone powering down 5.47 four or five times...does that really make any sense?
