Hi Alan,

>> That is because they chose not to vote. That is how it is with election,
>> if you don't vote you do not get a say in the outcome.

> That was not an election, it was a putsch.

Bingo - that's all there is to this.

For the the new people just reading this echo, let's make it all clear: Vince
Coen was elected by the body of the FIDO_SYSOP echo (including a number of Z2
posters... they used passwords like "not janis" Lol) That was find to me, silly
people I figured.. because I thought it was great that Vince Coen had been
nominated, because he is one of the most unpolitical entities in Fidonet.

Anyway, Vince had only been moderator for 4 months when van der Vlist decided
to post some warped "Election notice". Bjorn jumped right in as a candidate,
even though fido_sysop had a great, elected moderator who had only been in
office for 4 friggin' months.

Take care,
Janis
