It was not my intent and I hope nobody took it that way.  =<

Certainly I don't want this election to turn into mud-slinging.  I think
we can all agree we don't want that.

The intent was the exact opposite, that I believe you can.  If you asked
me which of the three of us I support I would say all of us (even though
I am running myself) because any one of us seems to be a good option for
leader.  I also don't see this as a competition since we're all working
towards the same goal and seem to have many of the same ideas.

I'd much rather focus on the project and the directions each of us want
it to move in.  I think each of us has pretty much compatible goals in
that regard.
