Ed, I'm really not meaning to be contrary here, but I don't think it's a terribly great idea to tabulate "votes" on this particular issue for the simple reason that the people whose posts most need moderation will be voting. I suggest we simply leave the actual choice of moderators up to Jimbo and debates the merits of the proposal itself.

By "this particular issue" I meant only who the moderators should be--not whether there should be moderation. That is, indeed, something that I think should depend a great deal on "votes."
