I apparently downvoted a legitimate post in the German community... seems that you had accidentally downvoted, then switched to upvote, and my follow script didn't undo the downvote. Fortunately, I caught that and reversed it before it paid out. ;-) Hopefully, I haven't missed any others of those...)

... gulp! I can't remember doing that! I'm usually very careful because I know you'll follow!

At some point, an account shouldn't need a Steemit delegation any more.

I compiled a list of users a couple of years ago whose delegations were 2+ years old. I can't remember how much STEEM it was... but it was significant. It's probably even more now.

The Steemit Team has historically been very good at removing the delegations when informed. They've been very slow this time for whatever reason - perhaps because I haven't given them an array to simply implement. Maybe I'll do that at some point :-)

It's the "voting permissions" that I find the most annoying... although they're all a "can't lose" proposition for the scammers.
