Good idea @beeyou! I had about 15 witnesses chosen, 3 of which you mentioned here, and then Asher wrote his post a week or so ago when he noticed many of us on the Curation Leagues' list hadn't voted for witnesses. I added to my already-too-long to-do list, researching the rest to complete my witness votes, but never seemed to have the time to do it. The more I found out about @abh12345, the more I loved who he is and what he does for this community...all the selfless giving to support the League's alone led me to this decision: @abh12345 is my proxy!
It is not easy for me to give up control, but when I wasn't able to complete this task to the best of my ability, and I sure didn't want to halfheartedly tick off names just to get it done, I decided who better than Ash to complete the task for me. It was simply serendipitous that he announced that he and @paulag were running for witness today, although I had a little feeling that was the direction he was heading in.
So, for anyone reading this, who has no idea who to vote for, please don't leave your votes empty, but take my word for it and trust @abh12345 to complete it for you; he will complete it very well, I assure you!
(That last bit sounded like I'm working for his campaign haha)
I did however write a post about why I love @steemcommunity and @qurator as witnesses and why ;)
Hey @lynncoyle1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on why you love @steemcommunity and @qurator and why you have Asher listed as proxy. He definitely has the community at heart and will vote on great witnesses. For me and our team, we would like to slowly go through the witness list and learn about them before making a vote. There are so many good ones out there that are already doing a great job as witness, but still would like to do our due diligence.
My pleasure @beeyou! I too believe in due diligence, but I just didn't seem to have the time for it :)
:D
Thank you Lynn!
I'll do my best for sure. There will always be a few 'personal' choices in everyones witness list, due to perhaps something they showed you / gave you in the past, but I want my list to look forward and hold the community at heart. It will be tweaked as we continue into 2018 and beyond.
And of course, if you ever choose to remove the proxy then don't worry about doing so!
Again, you're welcome Asher! I will pass along what @hitmeasap said to me after his generous delegation: "Just don't doing anything f*#king stupid with it" haha
