With all due respect, I fully concur.
 
One of the best articles I have read in Fidonews ... ever.

FR> Why R28 did not vote
FR> By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555 AKA 2:28/0
 
FR> The sysops of Region 28 decided that RC28 would not cast a vote in
FR> the last election for FTSC membership. In the 2016 election a vote
FR> was cast with " abstain" for all candidates. That did not make much
FR> of a dent. So this time a stronger signal was attempted.
 
FR> The election is a farce! Ever since I was involved with the FTSC,
FR> first as standing member and later as administrator, all nominees
FR> who's name was not Bj”rn Felten have been elected.
 
FR> No matter how incompetent, no matter how inactive, no matter how
FR> ignorant and last but not least, no matter how much of an asshole,
FR> all except Bj”rn Felten, they were all elected.
 
FR> We have seen sysops unable to post from their own system getting
FR> elected. We have seen *Cs that were unable to produce an
FR> FTS-5000/5001 complient nodelist segment getting elected. We have
FR> seen sysops that remain dormant and only come out of the woordwork
FR> at election time getting elected. We have seen sysops that have
FR> never contributed one line of documentation but who only produce
FR> noise get elected and got re-elected for decades. More than half
FR> of the elected members are just seat warmers. They have contributed
FR> absolutely nothing.
 
FR> The election is an exercise in futility. R28 decided it no longer
FR> wants to play this silly game.
