First, allow me to respond to my opponent\'s claims.  
1.  Don\'t assume that I am an early sleeper.  It\'s now after midnight PST, which is 3am in the East, and I won\'t be going to sleep for another 1-2 hours.  At best that is a dead heat between me and Shockwaves.
2.  I am fair and reasonable.  I know the meaning of the word compromise.  I am a natural mediator, both at work and in my personal life.  I have supported unpopular members of this forum when they were being unreasonably attacked, and I will continue to do so when the situation calls for it.  
3.  As I\'ve said, I will be very reluctant to close threads or delete information.  I\'m a librarian, so I believe in retaining information to form a clear record of what has transpired.  I never edit my posts to change history, and I won\'t edit yours either.  I do sometimes correct my spelling, but that\'s a virtue!
4.  I long ago implemented a system of forwarding email between my mail accounts that allows me to check my email constantly throughout the day, even while at work.  I will be there when a crisis occurs!
5.  I rarely take vacations, so I won\'t disappear for weeks at a time like SOME people I could mention.   Samwise   Just kidding sammy thanks for your support.  
Please vote for me, and I promise to fulfill the office of OT & CE mod with reliability and the deepest integrity. 
 Well, let me see here.  It\'s now about 5 am Eastern, so I would say that is about a dead heat, wouldn\'t you?  So no advantage for you there 

As for the rest of your claims, there is nothing there I can\'t at least match as well.  Of course, if I had my way, we\'d both go on, you as a CE mod and me as an OT one.  That would be the ideal.  But if one of us has to lose...go me!
