But if it's as easy as you say...why do you say that non-listed sysops be
allowed to vote?  Either use your gratuitous bomb and say that they should be
listed, or not use it and campaign for non-sysops being allowed to vote.

Yep....and that has NOTHING to do with the current moderator's policy of not
having yearly elections....but it seems you'd rather poke at the echolist than
address the issue of moderatorship of FN_SYSOP.

Ah, if you can't address the problem, you toss it off....
