Ideally a manifesto would be required or at least useful. However...

The year I ran (because I was begged to, for lack of candidates) I was the only one diligent enough to write a manifesto. And I wasn't elected. I may have been a bad candidate for that election, although honestly I thought I was the better candidate and I'm obviously unbiased, but it clearly shows manifestos are not a factor. This and the council elections are beauty contests. Very few people vote and those who do choose based on who they are friends with. The only thing a manifesto does in a Gentoo election is satisfy the conscience and ego of the author.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, Rich's 10-page reply [1].

Calchan

[1] This is merely an attempt at preemptively defusing one of his dreaded novel-sized email bomb. Let's see if it works.
Forgive me .. but +1 .. to all of this ..
