Being the most frequently announced non-candidate for TalkBoard, I can assure you that I was not electioneering when I made my post (except, of course, for N830MH, and I have no idea of how he feels about this issue).
, which actually wasn't my intent but is the result nonetheless.

but find some of the information valuable.Didn't really think about the timing when I posted it. I was curious when people kept saying TB was hidebound, didn't pass stuff, and ended up posting results for 6 years. FWIW - I was expecting to see more fails than passes based on comments, so was actually quite surprised to see that passes were more than fails - and it was consistent over several years.
But I'll let you all get back to election stuff & posting in the candidates questions. I've been reading them all, and it's quite interesting. A lot of different platforms.
Cheers.

Sometimes things get passed, sometimes they don’t, and sometimes there’s not enough interest by either regular FTers or TB members to bring something to a motion/vote.
And - I totally respect all past & current TB members who gave/are giving of their time, thought, consideration, to help make FT a better BB. I might not have agreed with them all the time, nor them with me, but I think that all of us, whether TB or FTers, have FT's best interests at heart.
And it's a pretty good bulletin board for one's travels needs and questions, and it has an excellent community. 'Nuf said.
