Quick question. Any reason why the current mods aren't running for re-election?
Is it:
1. No can do
2. Don't want to do this anymore
3. Wanna allow others to participate in the joys of moderating?
4. None of the above?

4 - none of the above. This election is for an additional mod

Exactly. There’s enough fun available that we are looking for friends to share it with. 😉

It's going to be a tough race again this year, looking at the nominations so far
I didn't realise there was a word limit on the nomination either, had to cut mine way back - which is unusual for me, I'm usually too concise!

There’s also the reality that @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 and I are in the same time zone. That leads to some dead spots in the admin queue
It also leads to weird collisions. Just now, we were trying to edit the same question at the same time. Since I’m on my phone, he won....

@BobCross - Yah, the keyboard with nine fingers will beat two thumbs most any day of the week.

That’s why I’m planning to get a bigger phone. Then I can use more thumbs!

@NickC - No worries ... good to see you've posted up. You're right, there's a great crop of people who've self nominated.

@BobCross Which TZ is @DucatiKiller in? He's US based as well isn't he?

Unfortunately, we don’t hear a lot from @DucatiKiller these days.

That's a shame, he's very knowledgeable, especially with Bike stuff

@NickC there's a reason I decided against using prose ;)
@BobCross you'll have to have coffee every morning if you do. Thumbs require Java to support multi-threading

@Zaid - Yah, you just try multi-threading with thumbs alone ... heck, just threading is hard enough with thumbs, let alone getting multied with them.

@Zaid I’m all about Java. I’m starting to spin up on JDK 9 once I get my code over to the new repository. Coffee is gross, though. Ick.

@BobCross I'm in Cannes this week. I dislike coffee, but Espresso is mandatory...

@RoryAlsop - Isn't Espresso just distilled coffee leftovers?

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 Umm, 9 fingers?
If DucatiKiller isn't around much, shouldn't he step down?

@tlhIngan - I was taught not to use my left thumb while typing. It just sort of hangs out and encourages the rest of the digits.

@tlhIngan That discussion is disjoint from the on-going election
