Great post @ezzy!

@blockbrothers have shown their dedication and value to the blockchain and @exyle's commitment was evident to me since first following him. 

That said all witness accounts run by *committee* have had my support removed [8 months ago](https://steemit.com/witnesses/@novacadian/my-current-witness-choices) (with perhaps one exception). That is because my one vote is intended for one witness which can be communicated with one on one, not by conference call.

Hopefully if Steemit, Inc. delivers on the **rocksDB implimented HF**, the group that now comprises @blockbrothers will be able to afford their individual servers and speak as individual witnesses. This could work to make their voice even stronger, should more than one of them achieve *Top Twenty Status*.

My hope is that that will be the case and thank all members of @blockbrothers for their contributions and dedication  to the blockchain.
