Whoa...!  Wait a sec...

It's entirely possible that I have missed some postings or items of
importance in previous messages, but I personally will refuse to vote
for anyone until I know something about the "candidates".  What
qualifications do each of these gentlemen have?  How much time and
effort will they be able to guarantee to the coordination of elm?  Why
should I vote for one and not another?

Even if this has been hashed out in the past (faithful reader here,
but not perfect :-), this type of information should still be included
in the message requesting votes.

My only criteria today is voting for someone whose name I like, or
maybe because I like the company.  Not good criteria for something of
this nature...

(No offense intended to the individuals involved... I'm sure they may
all be qualified, but someone should still say why...)
