If you've been mentioned for (or are interested in) the Benevolent Dictator post, would you mind dropping either a 'thank you, no' or a candidacy-comments email to the list? Just so we know who is interested and who wants off any potential ballots before next Thursday?

I have picked myself up off the floor, and stopped giggling hysterically. Thank you for the nomination, I am very flattered to have been considered, but I don't think I'm the person for the job of Dictator, Benevolent or otherwise. I will get the Users' manual done, but I lack the technical knowledge for the main job. Rosalie Blake
