Gratitude
We thank everyone for their votes. Many of you granted us your vote after either working together with us on a project or having a chat with one of our team members. I'm not going to thank individuals as I'll miss one or two inadvertently but to say the least, if you had a chat with ourselves over the last while we greatly appreciate you taking the time. We appreciate your time on the same level as we appreciate your witness approval.
In respect to fellow witnesses, we actively work with and jointly support (in alphabetical order) 
How We Vote
We unvoted dead/disabled witnesses. Should a disabled witness come back online to resume operations, we will revote it where possible. We will be reviewing witness updates carefully prior to the New Year and will readjust our voting. A detailed post will come out at the time. Until then, if you feel your witness deserves our vote, tell us why but keep in mind that our mandate is to avoid differentiating between Steemit members based on their wallet evaluation.
