10. Who cares how many posts a thread got?
This isn't a contest. The point was to narrow the chatter, wasn't it? Three threads out of dozens of others apparently focused on election reform can hardly be considered the reason no one is responding to others. Has it occurred to you that some of us can multi-task and post to more than one thread at a time?

Arnheim, I'm not trying to lash out at you, but I do think some perspective is in order. Otherwise it's the "get over it" refrain all over again.

As for VOTE, I volunteered some time ago, but have not heard from you about whether you could use my editing services. I understand that you've got a lot of responses to sort through, so I'm not suggesting you're ignoring me, just pointing out that people ARE interested in taking action, and we HAVE been taking action. We are simultaneously interested in voicing our opinions in what until yesterday was labeled a discussion forum. I don't see why some people think that is so terribly counterproductive.

If anything, I think the feeling that the most important issue (FRAUD) is being lost in the shuffle may account for some of the lack of perceived action. I, for one, am not interested in trying to pursue election reform in a vacuum, pretending that the elephant is not in the room.

That being said, I think we are on the same side, so please don't take this as a slam at you for voicing your frustration.
