OMG! Can I turn away for five minutes without getting volunteered into something?
I appreciate the gesture and the trust but I really urge you to think again.
I...
Do not have an IRC account
Am online at odd hours and sometimes not for days at a time
Am not the fastest to respond to emails: sometimes it takes me weeks to reply
Do not have political ambitions, which is why I have never been a manager in my life (in fact, my last two jobs have taught me to consider the word "manager" as a pejorative)
Do not have a plan or strategy for the immediate, let alone the long term future of this forum
Have currently a rather busy period in my personal life (including no access to the PC, only my N900 for communication), which may make me respond even slower
And finally, am recently on the dole. Legally, you have to declare any work you do, paid or unpaid. So I foolishly told them that I contribute to open source software projects, which resulted in an immediate stop to my job seeker's allowance. This is being investigated and there is a small chance that I may get some of my allowance back but imagine the result if they found out that I am on the council of something!
So, please think again. If, having carefully read all of the above, you still think that I am a suitable candidate, then I am willing to accept the nomination. But please treat me as the last resort, when you do not get enogh other
victim
candidates.
