Unfortunately, for years now the RCs have for the most part supported all candidates that were nominated.

Candidates are nominated in some cases for no reason other than to ensure that group is represented. Andrew --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707 * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219) .
