If it's any consolidation to you, before when you had to type the name of the person you were sending funds to, I wrote in "miller" instead of "millers" a few times and had the same awful gut feeling you had.

Tried to contact the account with 0.001 Steem messages, looked around on the chats, but no such luck.

Probably one of those accounts that was mined the crap out of back in the day when people were doing that stuff to make millions!

Ohhh well, such is life.

Learned really quickly to double and triple check everything.

This new option where the droplist shows up is actually a great help, but it doesn't nullify human error, it just makes it easier for people to NOT make mistakes, because we don't have to type the entire username each time.

Lessons learned, the hard way!

Such is life!

PS. Buildawhale should be dropping a vote soon, consider it my shout at the pub to drown our sorrows!
