Interesting comments here.
I hear you [member=4465]alt[/member], in your admonition to [member=6]Stan[/member] to use his voting clout in a more active way.
It sounds like he is recognizing the limits of his technical knowledge, and deferring to those like [member=120]xeroc[/member] who have it. I see that as applying wisdom, rather than "spraying voting gunfire" in the general direction of the enemy without effectively and accurately hitting the target.
I would rather see a reserved application of power rather than a broad, wasteful application of it.
With great power comes great responsibility, and IMO that requires being more active, rather than passive. When it comes to making decisions and knowing the best course of action to take, often ir requires a great deal of technical understanding, and I for one am grateful for xeroc's involvement and [member=6]Stan[/member]'s drawing upon his expertise.
