Since I didn't make that a very explicit question, let me do so now: We've had several DPL's in the past who've done more than one term, but (IMHO) we've never had DPL's who've not started getting less active or less publically visible towards the end of their second term; this was the case for, at least, Martin Michlmayr, but also for your immediate predecessor, Steve McIntyre. How do you propose to prevent that from happening to you? (note that I think this whole vote is moot anyway -- if Stefano wins, Stefano is DPL. If Stefano doesn't win, and None of the Above wins, Stefano will remain DPL until we have another vote... and, as Belgium currently shows, filibustering isn't exactly hard... oh well ;-) ) -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html
