Thank you for posting @breezin.
As far as witnesses go....you might want to add @abit to the list.....why?.....posts a regular witness report, quite knowlegable, keeps other witness on the ball, and supports the Steemit community with his upvotes......another one is @bitcoinparadise (keeps Steemians informed, is a back up witness, writes great articles which read....integrity)and @idnit(belongs to @majes...who is quite helpful to Steemians, informed, and is custodian for @christian-trail) and @chainsquad....(very knowledgeable and responsible..aka as @xeroc)... @l0k1 has recently been added to the witness list...he is dedicated, knowledgeable and writes at least a post a day...seems very suited to this sort of work.
There are others...this is a good place to start your research.
There are posts out there as to their qualifications.
Great post.
Thank you for the opportunity to ponder these things.
Kind Regards, bleujay.
Thank you for the mention @bleujay. There are many other's that have done more for the community than I have but I appreciate it.
Thank you for taking the time to read my posts.
Oh great! Thank you so much for your constructive response, this was exactly the reply that I was hoping for, and it seemed to get lost with the readers, however it did seem to raise a bit of awareness towards the need to vote for witnesses! I will definitely have a look at those witnesses, thank you again, and I am glad that you liked my post!
