@GraceNote thank you

This is so exciting ^^

@orthocresol Is it? ಠ_ಠ

@Rubisco It will be, once you've nominated ;)

@GraceNote Is it posted somewhere, and/or are we allowed to know, e.g., which mods are stepping down and/or if these two slots are newly opened mod positions?

@hBy2Py No one's stepping down.

No one is stepping down this is just +2

Like an edit

If you're <2k.

@Rubisco I have no idea what you mean by this

@GraceNote Ok, thanks!

@hBy2Py Just a simile. I mean that mods are for life, unless they step down themselves.

After the election, we usually only get two new mods.

No subtractions

@Rubisco <nod>, I learned the mod-for-life-unless-one-chooses-to-step down thing from Martin a little bit ago.

I still have no idea why adding two mods is like an edit.

Edit adds two rep

OH.

Well, right, I get it now.

Totally not an obvious connection for me, though. (Clearly!)

Sorry. :-)

This is not the first time people don't get my jokes.

Or similes.

Or jokes.

Hehe, I run into that a lot, too.

The curse of an unusual brain.

OK, let's me nominate

Hm, I just saw that I will not be here when the election ends. I will probably be in Brussels or London.

@Rubisco So I hope that you don’t exchange the locks while I’m gone.
