Perhaps you should consider giving at least as much weight to substance as 
to form?

So, you would be happy if an open and fair process for a group of 10,000 
had only one person show up to do the voting?

You do not believe there would be a fundamentally crippling problem with 
such an eventuality?

You are calling a simple, direct explanation "innuendo"???

Let's see.  You want to penalize Kent for being active and actually doing 
necessary work?

Jamie, you are paid for yourinvolvement in ICANN.  You appear to find it 
very difficult to take seriously people who actually a) know what they are 
talking about, and b) participate on a truly volunteer basis.

Nonetheless, please refrain from this sort of childish attack.  It's not 
just demeaning to you; it brings the whole NCC down.
