But the squeaky wheel get greased, ya gotta be in it to win it, and all that.
I appreciate wharvey's post, but I doubt any TB members are really still on the fence at this point. We're just waiting out the string now to see how many people abstained or voted no for no other reason than deference to Randy. I have great respect for those who vote no because that's how they feel, BTW.
I wish other posters (I know you didn't reference this koko, but merely quoted someone else) would stop throwing around 160K like it's some meaningful statistic. How many people registered and have posted once, twice....or haven't posted in years? Does putting some posting/logging in filters reduce the active number to 5K? 3K? Less? THAT is the real number of people around here.
My favorite part of this thread are the former TB members who have come on this thread and stated that they voted for or against this in the past, one even intimating that my opinion doesn't count as much as theirs cause I "lost" 2 TB elections. None of this is relevant. Please review the definition of "former" at your convenience.
