Ha I got there before you on advertising-supported witness :P 1 up for Jan

The Irish humour aside. In all circumstance working at two opposing sides is a conflict of interest, will a decision be made on one that was influenced by the actions on the other, or to better gain finance from both alternatively, while being on the inside. It sounds a bit much like the banking system, hands in many pockets and cannot lose with inside info.
In all business, it is seen as a conflict of interest to represent two companies of similarity. Now, I am not casting character accusations at anyone, I do not know enough about any witness to cast any character reference.
This is written from experiences in my own life and things I have seen with conflict of interest.
I do see that you witness do good for communities and the platform. I see alternative methods to progress in the physical world. Maybe as our group grows we will gain visibility and the chances of more witness working together on a project can happen more frequent.
