Dear Joanna,

Although we *are* very much in danger to be captured (and tamed) it's not 
all that bad. :-)

The ballot message will (nay, MUST) include the URL on our website where I 
will collect all the long statements of all candidates as I receive them.
This will be www.icannatlarge.com/candidates2.htm and this URL will be 
spread around the website and the Forum.
I will also include previous statements of those who are candidates for the 
second time.
Even though I have as little free time as Elisabeth, I will start to pastre 
this webpage together from tomorrow.

For the rest, I agree 100% with you that icannatlarge should run its own 
elections and member polls and I am making arrangements to get the Polling 
Booth hosted independently. (it needs abt. $165 for 6 months)
