Your call, James.  But as I see it, the only "taint" on this election is the
bickering, back-biting, second and third-guessing, and members who can't
follow simple f@#$ing instructions!  I think it is significant that the
primary person making this claim is NOT A MEMBER OF THIS ORGANIZATIION!!!

If you have any *provable* allegations about how this election is being
conducted, then bring 'em on!  But don't you *dare* impugn the honor of
myself and the few brave others who are trying to get something done for
this orgaization!  Something, I might add, that everyone was crying for!

The nature of this group being what it is, I expected, going into this
election, to get a certian number of complaints!  But we got very few
complaints about the process we intended to implement, and even a few kudos
on our proposed process, whichj was posted numerous times on this forum as
it was being developed, and was modified numerous times based on member
inputs.  Why, then, are people complaining about the process now that we're
doing *exactly* what we said we would?

The message we sent out was specific about how to make and second
nominations, accept or decline nominations, and how accepting nominees could
send in candidate statements. We are not responsible for:

	-  Members who use alternative venues to submit nominations instead of
simply clicking their "reply" button!

	-  Members who nominated non-members

	-  Non-members who nominated members

	-  Nominees who have failed to send in candidate statements (I have yet to
receive a single one yet to my personal e-mail address as the message
instructed! )

To say that this election is "tainted" based on any of the above is
laughable at best, and at worst is potentially an attempt to subvert the
election.
