I can remember only one case -- and that required Randy's intercession.

I don't agree with this suggestion. Let's say that I (if I were still on TB) have a particularly bad idea in mind and I make it as a motion. Let's go a step further and say that Koko seconds it only because he feels that any motion should be voted on. It soon becomes obvious that I am the only member who will vote for it.

Why should I be covered up for by TB? Isn't it better to let all of FT see the kind of thing that I favored?
