I'll give you 50% on this one. IIRC one of the candidates ran on a smilies platform.

B. I visit this forum frquently and don't honestly remember seeing you post often or solicit feedback. This is not meant as an insult to you. I think you are one of FT's biggest assets and would vote for you again. I just think you could participate here more.

Removing the "gag order" is a start. But it's just a baby step. Announcing the motion results is only worthwhile if we know in
advance what is being voted upon.
