Way to go, Brad. This sure sounds like a great way to reduce the bureaucracy
on the net... by creating a commitee.

You miss the point, Peter. We *already* are run by committee -- a committee
made up of all the people who yell and scream on news.groups/admin/misc. This
committee, as with all such, is inefficient in proportion to its size. Brad's
proposal would replace the many people who hold little power with a small
group that holds a lot. Dangerous, but, given some reasonable checks on
that power, probably a helluva lot more effective that the current system...
