Firstly, I never said I don't want to zap content early. I zapped undisciplined's post early because it was in my notifications, I read it and it was a great post. Shouldn't that be how it works? Rather than people not reading posts and zapping them hoping to be first and gain reward from it. I simply don't subscribe to the idea that no one will zap posts early if their isn't outsized reward for it. Maybe that was a feature of the early days of SN but I don't think that is the case now. When I am zapping content, whether it is a top stacker or a new stacker or just an occasional stacker I am zapping because I like the content, or I want to support the stacker. I think most people are doing the same.

Secondly, I apologize for the way in which I addressed this. Yes, it was patronizing. Canadians aren't always nice eh. Not trying to throw punches or insult you. Just providing evidence to back up my concerns. I went about it the wrong way. I appreciate everything you and ek are doing to meet your non custodial deadline. I tried to help out with my post and boost earlier in the week. Not trying to row in the opposite direction sir. I am on team SN.

And finally, you don't need to consult me or anyone else about anything. It's a testament to what you have built that you have such an engaged and passionate community that stackers care enough to drive you nuts with complaints, requests etc. I have sat in your seat but in a much different way. I never had a bunch of rabid fans suggesting what I should work on or what the direction of the company/site should be. I feel for you. I will mind my own business.

Appreciate you @k00b.
