1) Make sure the name of the person you are replying to is somewhere in the first quote, otherwise i get confused.
2) You are part of "us" now, so it was directed at the people denying you from the loop as well. I think I could trust an Admin run vote not to be rigged, although I don't know if we could expect them to do the vote, they being busy and everything. Not so sure about other people. I figure if we know who is running it, people who know them will either breathe a public sigh of relief or make a big stink about untrustworthyness, and then I'll know the character of the people involved. Ahh well, can't have everything.
