Grr, sorry for my suckage of mailing lists.  I thought I had accidently sent
something, but it was only gmail showing the draft (swear it looked like
part of the list though).  Anywho, in short, something about Mehall having
any kind of power gives me an odd feeling.  There's no real evidence for it,
but he seems like he'd be too strict/power happy over it.  Like he cares
more about having it than actually keeping things in order.  That's my
thoughts though, and if anyone feels different, feel free to speak up.  My
guts not always right. :p
