[QUOTE=Frank] .. [/QUOTE] Sorry, I should have remembered that, instead I remembered a joke from before you changed your user name. I really hope you don’t mind the fun I was having at your expense, other than screwing up your old user name, it was intentional, but assuming you would be OK with the jokes. ---

[QUOTE=Isosleepy] The real problem is not that the Reader will not go a long with it, it’s that if they did, only complete nutjobs would allow themselves to be nominated. And not even the fun nutjobs. [/QUOTE] And that would be different from the current system how? Badumdum I kid because I love (sorta). Really electing Mods is like electing Traffic Cops and Parking Enforcement Officials - the good ones are going to make enemies, and the popular ones would need to be worthless to stay popular and be re-elected. ---
