Every time we have a contentious issue like this one, folks post about how their e-mail and PM boxes are overflowing with commentary from other FT'ers.
Hey, I'm on TB and fairly well known around these parts. And, to the best of my recall, I've never received
one PM or e-mail in three years on any issue facing TB.
Oh wait, I did get an e-mail recently threatening to never vote for me again if I supported this issue.
So, anyway, why doesn't this silent yet passionate majority on FT ever bother to make their feelings known to a voting TB member? Enquiring minds want to know.......

NickB, my man, you need to seriously consider a run for TB this year. Your eloquence and grasp of the issues here would be most welcome.
