At the moment ...

Top witnesses are signing every block, obviously.
Thank you, @rishi556 and @blervin for providing the scripts. Thank you, @bala41288, for your support.
By the way, my friend @primersion has added a fabulous Hive-Engine witness monitor to his HIVE Monitor pages.
Now, back to bed, and in the morning I'll do a proper Hive-Engine witness announcement letter.
Ps: I did watch the Superbowl, the second quarter. In the halftime break, I decided to call it the night. It was one-way traffic with much too many errors on the Chiefs side. How did it end? Checking the news ... Tampa Bay won easily. It was a good decision to go to bed.
So, good night again and good morning in few hours.
Better and better
