I'm not taking chances.  A prolonged in-the-vat state results 
in a forfeiture, so this is a CYA.  The conventional wisdom 
(if not the officially adopted Bnomic philosophy) is that 
failure to take an action is an action, that failure to make a 
choice is a choice, etc., so I could see someone (even, dare I 
say, me) trying to make a claim that failure to make a 
statement is a statement.  So I object to that implicit 
statement.  Just to be sure.

I'm not going to run for Minister of the Roster for a while, 
since if I did I'd probably make it a dynamic page, and 
that'll be after I complete Wonko's card coil, which will be 
after I finish coding Tunnelers for online play.  Which, 
slacker that I am, might be a while yet.  But I'm working on 
it.
