Understandable. End of year, time to see what has worked, what has not, time to reflect on where we are and where we want to go. Hug your wife, make a child laugh, time goes by and the strife dies back. When it is time to try again it will be time to try again. I know launching your witness campaign involved a lot of inner searching on your part as to whether this was something you really wanted at the time. Perhaps next go around it will be different.
I still appreciate how you try to keep the freedom of steemit blogging free from the constraints of those Do as I say, not as I do" type people.
