Election time ....
Hey community members. In case you might have missed it, there's currently a call among all members for candidates to help represent the members of FlyerTalk over the next year on the TalkBoard. Really is a great opportunity to help meet new members and as well do something great for the community.
Here's the link to the announcement and your chance to guide some of the decisions on FlyerTalk:

NOTE: So far only nine candidates for the 4 open positions so your chances might be better than you think. I'd run myself but they sort of gave me the benevolent dictator role some years ago. Good luck if you decide to run.

I considered running, but the Q&A of the candidates covers a lot of StarMegado2 time (depart 10/31 & return really late the 7th or midday the 8th) & so I wouldn't be around to answer the questions. I know I actually read everyone's responses before voting, so have to assume not being able to 'til towards the end would probably hurt me. Too bad because with not that many candidates, I might actually stand a chance!
Cheers.

Last time I ran
I came in BEHIND a member who had been established as a troll and was subsequently banned.
So I won't be running again

I leave at oh-dawn-hundred on Sunday, and looking at the schedule I might have a couple hours on Thurs & maybe a bit on Sat, but other than that I really won't have access until mid-day sometime on the 8th.
So if I decided to run technically I could catch up on all the questions on the 8th or 9th & answer them then, but folk might wonder why I'm not responding & not realize I'm on SMD2. Of course if other folk running are also on SMD2 then I wouldn't be the only one to respond late.
Cheers.

Not sure if this is of any comfort. I recall there's at least one candidate who didn't answer any of the questions but got a good number of votes a couple of years back. I forgot if he was elected though.
