I like to support reliable and active witnesses who do a little bit extra, though I disagree that the witness position is not political.

As much as I hate politics we might need to have some sort of regular political process to bring some accountability and raise the bar a little. I am happy with a fair chunk of the Top 20 but we could always do better and I don't even realize there is the odd issue like this until after it blows up and I only ever review my witness votes on a blue moon.
