When a cranky whale comes after you, people run and hide. I understand, but I don't have to like that fact. Didn't mean to upset you, but felt that sharing some of the figures I got elsewhere are relevant in the discussion. We aren't the only ones noticing people leaving or going inactive. Here is a post from @snowpea lamenting the loss of some folks whose work/presence she clearly appreciated: https://steemit.com/blog/@snowpea/to-the-missing-steemians

I personally also know some who have gone inactive and I know of one who announced an exact quit date. That's a shame, her writings, knowledge of languages and literature in general are brilliant.
