Keep braid secrets under the Hat

Even though I do not understand the whole European campaign-period concept, I kept my mouth shut even though it was at odds with trying to answer every question, no matter how stupid. I give props to Jeroen for his efforts in question-answering that year, even though the electorate obviously never cares about that.

I wanted to answer all questions directed to all candidates (excluding replies for the same reason that I only responded on-list to questions directed explicitly at me), but did not.

Quite a bit of the encouragement I have received after the fact has been from people who are not DDs. I find this strange since most of what I have said has been about the enfranchisement of DDs, and nothing about non-DDs. I could speculate about why this might be the case, but I will refrain.

We now return you to your regular program.
