This year, team formation is happening after nominations are already over, so your fear makes no sense. Within the DPL team, I discussed at the beginning of the nomination period who would run this year. I announced that I would most likely nominate myself. Why didn't you inform the rest of the team you were considering to run again until you nominated yourself publicly? That was a surprise for me. > The good thing about our voting system is that you cant split > votes.

Are the other five candidates all fools, or running to become a figure head? If that's what you wanted to write, I strongly disagree. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
