I would also like to see a list of endorsements
in the statements.

I think now (by chance perhaps) all the people
I have voted for have posted here. I'm sure there
are some excellent candidates amongst the others,

with more experience here I will know them,
but in the mean time, I will constrain my votes
to the people I like and know.
