I got a canned reply to my email from Ned (2 business days to respond, pretty good actually).

So you can see it's not a priority, "ample time" probably means weeks.
If you are a hammer, the whole world is a nail...
If you are Dan Larimer, every problem in the world can be resolved by witness voting...
If you are Steemit with a $300 million cap, this can wait.
I'd bet they will roll out some super-complicated "delegated voting" solution...
Though my account was funded by a specific BTC account... and I can PROVE that I own it in 60 seconds.
Sigh.
Is that "ample time" to respond to the content of your email? In other words is that a form letter that has been sent by bot? Or do they really believe it will take months to release accounts that should never have been frozen?
