I've just got to disagree with you, zardoz. Don't forget - I've been on the other side of the fence as well for almost two years. There's good reason for keeping a committee anonymous that have nothing to do with conspiracy. In the past year and a half, I've gotten tons of IM's and emails from members who've either been or felt they're being harrased over one issue or another... all of those have to be examined and looked into. It doesn't take much stretch of imagination for me to picture members of an AOM committee getting deluged with "nominate me or else blah blah blah" IM's and mails, "what's wrong with my gallery"?, gallery links, "why wasn't I nominated?", "you guys suck" abuse, "this is rigged because... " mails... ad infinitum. Even potentially "I'll give you ALL of my store products FREE if you nominate me!" emails. ;] Man, I know that you're as imaginative as I am. We've been in the same forums too long, bud. You can see the potential for that as well as I can. Look at all the controversy that's happened over vote soliciting in the current system. Sounds silly when you type it, but this sort of thing is important enough to some people that they'll go over the edge on it. So, I don't have a real problem with the anonymity on the committee. Saves them a lot of potential abuse and personal harrassment.
