Folks: are we still playing with this toy?
I've sat here and watched this discourse – variously frivolous, slightly insulting,
and embarrassing – and said nothing in the hope it would just fizzle away.
But amazingly, it's still here.
We have to accept that while crowdsourcing is the genius of Wikipedia and a few of its
sister projects, it's totally inappropriate for choosing the executive director of a
big, prominent Foundation that lives in a competitive, complex, and often negative jungle.
There's a bunch of reasons for doing this largely away from the gaze of the rest of
the world. Do I really need to spell them out?
It would be good to move on to more useful and practical topics.

Chad, I wonder if Rory has been considered. (:
Given his history of biting newbies, I'm not sure he'd be in a good
position to help solve the editor retention problem.
