You are correct. I didn't want to bring that into the post because I wanted to keep it focused on the calculation on the "author's" totals. The only reason I mentioned the curation issue at all is because it took me two weeks to figure out that later is better for curation purposes. (so to make it simple, I just brought up the 30 minute or more you get it all)

but you are right and I'm glad you pointed it out here in the comments because I'm sure others are wondering how that works too.

Thanks for the comment @sha256md5... stay in touch and feel free to always look at my stuff and let me know if I make mistakes!
