Thank you for bringing me further insight into the internal mechanisms of the
FTSC. I really do appreciate having someone provide me with much-needed
knowledge. 

To be clear, I was not referencing your use of the ZCC nomination clause. I
agree, there wouldn't be enough candidates (especially after the first one
withdrew) if you hadn't done that. 

I was commenting about what is visible to the 'public', in this echo, after
that nomination. After all, this is the only source of current information
upon which to make a choice about a current election.

I agree with you once again on this point. It is a little discouraging to see
apathy from the very people for which this election matters. But, this isn't
exactly fresh news. It happens in real life, too, where voter numbers aren't
anywhere close to maximum.

I'm Gen X. My daddy was a letter in someone's pocket during The War. Oh,

Okay, but does that mean there is a monkey and circus that ARE yours? Somehow,
I feel like you would make a great clown! (o_-)

I also feel like some would say the same about me, but that *is* my monkey, my
circus, and not yours.

Okay, McDoob...time for bed...you've had enough...
