As usual, Wonko, killer commentary.  As usual, if I don't say anything
I agree and will rewrite.

But crazy enough for you not to vote for it, right?  ::grin::

Ha!  I love that.

I'm going with "Bob the evil voting fish" if that's okay with you.

That's sort of the point.  But everyone else will be doing the same

Don't forget that each time Bob helps pass a proposal, it is also
helping itself to become weaker, because it gives away votes.

Are people more likely to pass this one if the kickback clause is
removed?  Anyone else have an opinion?
