That wasn't my point but I guess I wasn't clear enough. Our foundation and council elections work sub-optimally, to put it mildly. It's no secret they are beauty contests where the wrong persons get elected for the wrong reasons. You and three others are exceptions to that rule over more than a decade on both trustees and council. That's not much. As for trying again, the one and only reason I ran was that I had been asked by somebody whom I trust a lot. The latter is what I'm pretty sure won't happen again. Or rather, I hope it doesn't.
