No you didn't address my concerns. You just talked down to me and threw out a whole bunch of talking points.
For example you used examples that are not anything like the elections we run. We don't get 40 candidates. We are often faced with a soviet ballot where there is exactly one eligible group bidding to host Worldcon in a particular year. Three is about the maximum and two is more typical. You don't know anything about our group or how it works, you've just parachuted in without doing research about us and demand that we research your system.
But hey, life wouldn't be fun if we didn't regularly get wingnuts telling us that everything we're doing is wrong. It is a pretty regular thing to get one or two people telling us how to change our conventions for the better, but when it comes to stepping up to do the work instead of just directing us from afar... well they fall rather short.
