I will cop to the former charge. I haven’t posted as much as most other people. Part of this is my temperament, and part of it is because of some RL issues that cropped up, which I mentioned but didn’t want to make a big thing about.

As to the other charge, I vote when I’m ready. How would it look to you if I regularly voted early, then ended up changing my vote?

Of course, I could just openly piggyback off of other players and vote with the crowd. Nothing suspicious about that, right?
