Dear Andrew, thank you for finally communicating with the community. Better late than never.
In the future, I really want you to pay attention to this. Not having any official Steemit reactions created unnecessary stress and FUD. To say that you were asked (or prefer) not to communicate before a few days would have been better than no information at all.
That said, I fully understand that these last days must have been very busy for you.
Once again, thank you for your commitment to the community.
