member number 823 isn't that real, because 'Dr. Hugo
Hackenbush',
It's 821, not 823, 823 is Guy Haworth.

The number of members with zero posts has declined from 265 to 195, which means that 53 of the 123 members who have disappeared had at least one post each.
Well, not anyway sure about this: Is disabled account visible? I mean the accounts that has been disabled by moderation?
In that case the accounts wiht post, could have been some that the moderation has passed on to admin as spam-accounts, since these are typically 1-post accounts (till disabled). Or of course possible troll-accounts - they go into the same box. And surely 0-posts account would be treated the same way when considered fitting into these categories.

Well, just a thought ;)

since my post yesterday morning..
7 more members have managed to stagger into the voting booths and successfully negotiate the perils of the voting software

with only about 30 hours left to vote(as i write) ..the total number of voters is at 160..perhaps the lowest voter turnout in CCC Election history

also somewhat disappointing are the lack of questions directed to the candidates even though i have opened a thread inviting the good members to question us(Dan did post the only question to date)

i guess all of our Candidate Statements were perfectly written and removed all questions and doubts in the memberships minds

Don't forget that the number permanently changes currently. This means,
what you see _later_ is not what I have seen at the time of my post ;-)

If you had known that the number changes when Quentin deletes some account,why mention the actual number at the time of the post, it doesn't make sense, mentioning the name alone would be enough, and it would be insulting to some newbie who had actually made some posts(Guy made 2 posts recently) and if he happens to see that it's his own number,he'd be annoyed. :)

Thanks for the insight in how some minds work.
It would have been less time consuming to acknowledge an error
instead of the funny construction above for nitpickings' sake.
