This is a devious option, but I didn't use it.

LOL, I had the feeling it could be misunderstood. I removed my name from the
possible nominee's for ethical reasons and then voted for the three I prefer
among the remaining. That's not the same as saying that I don't consider myself
to be qualified among the first three, far from it. But it means that I voted as
if I were not among the nominated.

I _do_ believe I'm more than capable of performing the task, but so does the
other nominee's I imagine. What would be the point of running otherwise. However
you choose to look at these elections, it's a question of personal preference.
None of the candidates are incapable of performing the job IMHO.

Best wishes...
