Why? Is this a new requirement for a nomination?

I was spending my Sunday preparing my answers as courtesy to you and because I thought they were well thought out qualifiers for any candidate. I didn't see this as a requirement for nomination until I just saw this post. What is the significance of the winking emoticon at the end of your above, quoted post?

I have no problem answering as I have already expressed my opinion on many of these subjects in my posts here on talk.maemo.org and I am in the process of searching these posts so please have some patience.

I don't see any need to change that. Yes, there are more users on tmo than the mailing list, but the elections are open to anyone. If a prospective council member chooses not to stand because it means subscribing to a relatively low traffic mailing list, then I'd question the commitment they'd be able to bring to the role.

The election is plastered all over tmo, planet.maemo.org, IRC, the mailing list, IRC and Twitter.

I don't see any reason to turn this into yet another "mailing list" vs. "forum" discussion. However, I welcome your candidacy and hope you'll find time to answer the questions I've been putting to all the candidates.
The question I posed in the post that you quoted was before I decided to nominate myself. It was asked not to start a debate and not because I wanted to nominate myself, it was asked in order to nominate another member.

As you can see in my following posts I followed the procedure that was outlined in this thread and no further discussion was required.

BTW; I am from the old school when it comes to posting etiquette. As I said before, I feel your questions are very good and I think that candidates answers to them will allow for a more informed decision by more voting members.

Because of this old schooling I believe it is rude to other viewers of this thread not to post the questions that we keep referring to.
However they are your questions and you posted them to a mailing list that not all members belong to. This old schooling in me reminds me that it would also be rude of me to post your content here because of that.
