Is the re-election campain on already? ;)

I agree as well. I think Angela and Anthere are doing an amazing job.

(See, the British and the French _can_ work with each other)

Since most people don't know how Tim and Michael think, I wouldn't be
surprised if they too would have the Wikipedia's best interest at
heart when voting. I am not worried about the Jimbo+2 bloc.

Finally, on moving slow; an old Italian proverb goes something like
this: "He who travels slowest travels safest."
