Not much to speak of - and some of those votes are mine, for and
against.  I'll repeat what Jeff Williams has said of the process - just
alot of fud and not much more

A real embarrassment for the Names Council.  In effect this is a clear
representation to you that others have little interest in participating in
this joke.  Or - it could be the result of all the filtering going on.

I think it's a true measure of people lack of confidence in all of
you.  Were tired of the jokes, we want real rules with real power and real
choices to go with that.

I guess after that you'll move on to some other joke or farce.  I think
it's time for us to sit down and put together a real election.
