I think the amount of votes is also 'witness' to the fact that the Steem Blockchain and therefore, Steemit, eSteem, busy.org et al get more popular and thus more people to vote for witnesses. I think it's great.
I also think it's great to high-light someone elses achievement. Good on you to shed the spotlight on that.
Congrats Good-karma, but also to you @aggroed, both for highlighting AND your personal achievement of 5000+ witness votes.
