What part of what I wrote above is not the job of the FTSC?

Where in what I wrote above did I say "automatically"?

Exactly what I was referring to in my comment above, but thank you for the long
winded explanation of what I already know.

Not sure where this came from, but if you want to go down that road.. Have you
ever been in a relationship with a woman, besides your mother?

What if his way _is_ better? Is this not how proposals and improvements are
made as more options and technology becomes available?

And you know he has one, he just didn't post from it when he accepted his
nomination. You stewed on that for the entire nomination process, then waited
until it was over to say anything. Most of us knew you were this kind of
person, but this one can definitely go down in the record books as one of your
finer moments.

Enough people were here to see it for themselves.

Regards,
Nick
