right on this is nice to know!
One of the things I haven't looked in to yet is the whole Witness thing, so this is good information for me.
I have proxy'd until I get more experience with the matter, and I know you will choose only the awesomest of awesome people to represent the now and future of Steem.
That's a good way to do it. It's really a bit of a chore to go through all of them and decide, especially if you don't know any of them yet.
