So you remove the ability for the people that suppy you guys with content to choose who they think best fits the bill? That doesn't sound right. Have two AOM's then. One for US and one for the illuminatus you guys have assembled. As far as the "complainers", they can just cry all they want. The AOM was democratically chosen in the past, now you gotta be over with the committee just to have a chance at running for it. Here's an idea, return the ability of chosing a people's choice back to the people. This way, you will be appreciative of those that are responcible for keeping this place up in the first place. (that would be us, the folks that put our works on this site and give you content). You may own the webspace, but we keep people returning to it. If it weren't for "us", you wouldn't have this little nugget on your resume. Now give us back the AOM like a good little employee.
