Ten weeks would have been more than enough to carry this off.

AS> Straight 10 weeks, sure. Throw in the US Election,
AS> Thanksgiving, Hanukah/Christmas and New Year's and I really
AS> can't think of a worse time to hold an election all year.

I slept on this before I answered, Andrea, and I came to the conclusion that there is no ten-week period in the year that's convenient to all for an election because so many look at an election as an interruption in their lives, a duty that they perform merely to discharge the obligation, or just a PITA and an interruption in their lives. Summer elections are out of the question due to vacations, yet our state has it's Primary election in July at the peak of the vacation season. The ones who care, vote.

What you are saying is that this is the worst time of the year for you.

The fact is that we need an election now, irrespective of the inconvenience that it might cause for a few, or for many, if your assessment is corrrect, and elections are held because of need, not convenience. It would take about 15 minutes a day to read the meaningful posts in a general election, most of Z1 won't spend that much time reading them. Most of Z1 doesn't care who's in charge. I know that you know how to sort through the posts and eliminate the background noise, concentrating on the posts that matter; can you find 15 minutes a day?

Hold the election, pick a replacement for Mouf so that he can get on with the things that have priority in his life and the few who actually care about who's running this ranch will find the time.

None of this is gonna happen, though; I hope we have a temp Z1C appointed by 5 JAN.
