 I don't think this idea is very good at all.To begin with sensible,intelligent
individuals could be easily victimised by mean-spirited,churls who don't like
particular nominees on grounds that most people would consider spurious.
Secondly it puts Steve in the difficult position of having to make a decision
about whether a negative complaint has merit.Nope it wont work.Anyway I think
the current system is adequate given the nature of the task.After all we are
only voting for moderators and if they prove unsatisfactory we can always stage
a coup d'etat and put  in people I like (only kidding!)

Cheers Allan
