I've now received my 2020 Election Ballot for electing three individuals to the AMSAT BOD. This prompts me to ask--or at least to propose--that a moratorium be placed on this BB for any and all messaging concerning the election, effective August 1. This would include messages from the candidates themselves or anyone submitting posts for or against them. In my opinion at least, there's been a sufficient airing of views as it is and two more weeks provide enough time for any member who's received a ballot but (mercifully) has not seen all the messaging that's appeared in the last month or so. The candidates' written statements, along with election posts here for two more weeks, are enough. Indeed, enough is enough. I long for a return to posts relating to matters such as antennas, software installation, new satellites in orbit, upcoming rovers, helpful advice for newbies, and geeky, technical information for old hands, just to name a few subjects. Is there a site administrator who can implement this?
