Although at this point in time I have no desire to be a witness, I appreciate the info contained in this post as it explains (at least to My ability to understand it) quite a few things about what's going on in the background to keep Steemit running.
This has brought quite a few questions that I'd like to pursue, so I appreciate the info on checking Steemit-chat witness channel.
Hopefully I won't be asking to many stupid questions.
