Maybe it is, although it has happened before. Sorry if you mentioned that in your historical review, but I don't have time to read it properly at the moment! As for this election (and for many if not most elections), I thought there was a deadline for declaring a candidacy, and given that the voting has been opened, that deadline will have been quite some time ago. > Finally, It has come to my attention by means of blocked messages and > delayed communications that those running the election would prevent you > from voting for me (even as a write-in candidate) out of some misguided > sense that they are "helping to make sure the people elected into the > GA..." No, I imagine that the list has some kind of new sender moderation and you've just ended up in a queue.
