how I wish you were in charge @aggroed or at least had more power. This makes very revealing reading.
I like the idea that not all witnesses need to be heavily involved in code. I very much appreciate all the community focused witness that have started up in the last 6 months.
I still don't really understand how there can be a Ned and Steemit Inc and then call it decentralised.
it's been a real eye opener to me being here in terms of the challenges and pitfalls of decentralisation. quite an education.
I'm very grateful to people, like yourself, who take he time to communicate with us in ways that even I can understand.
I sincerely hope that @ned not only seriously considers all your points but, also, has the courtesy to respond here, publicly.
