Thank you for mentioning this.  I think it has been suggested before that
one must be active in discussion in order to vote.  This would make sense
if our credentials to talk intelligently about the task at hand could be
verified before we made it on the list.  Instead, the quality of ones
activity must be weighed, as should the longevity of the participation.

(I would even go so far as to say that some discussion has been wasteful
enough to weigh negatively against the proposal that those members who
indulged it vote for.)
