I think the thing that continues to bother me about DRV is that, as much 
as we harp about not being a democracy and not voting, it's the msot 
blatant vote counting mechanism out there.  Someone can point out five 
problems with a deletion, and as long as the people in favor of deletion 
can dredge up one more person than you, it stays.  Patently absurd.

I haven't found that so far, but I'm relatively new to the world of FA. 
  I'm also highly critical, so maybe I'm part of the problem as opposed 
to the solution.
