I would like to welcome Simon and invite him to a fair and honest 
election. While Simon is my opposition at this present moment, what ever 
the outcome of this election he is still my friend and colleague. :)

I would also like to thank Paul for stepping in to fill this role of 
great responsibility. Paul, I know, is a person who takes integrity 
seriously, and I think we all   taking up this role

I suggest that it may be an idea to postpone ones vote until Saturday 
17th of May, the day before voting closes.

3 weeks is a long time and perceptions may change, making snap decisions 
now later cause you to regret the move.

I'm not sure how Paul will react to anyone who wishes to change their 
votes before voting is over, but I can't imagine he will be over-enchanted.

Read this carefully:

ahem Noah! ;)

I wish Simon good luck, and look forward to some reasoned debates and 
thoughtful voting. :)
