I would hope Don was exaggerating with 91 :)

Apparently, there is a problem with these free email accounts.  To avoid undue
election influence, the idea of restricting moderator voting to those who have
been members for a certain period of time seems to have resonated with the
membership.  The times stated have differed, so I propose a compromise of 30
days.

I hope the new moderators will prevail upon ICD to exclude the remailers.
That's a minimum step to promote orderly discussion.  It will unfortunately
exclude a few good people, but there's always a tradeoff.
