@ThomasOwens You and I don't always agree on things, but you have always been able to calmly and clearly explain your position, and that is a very important quality in a moderator.

@YannisRizos From your participation so far, I don't think you'd have much trouble adjusting to the moderator toolset or duties. :) I think you'd make a good moderator.

I have a serious dislike of joke nominations. They waste everybody's time and if this really is a joke, then I am truly disappointed to see this from you of all people.

@Morons Yeah, it's 3 votes. Unlimited up/down voting in the primaries (if there are more then 10 candidates nominated; otherwise we'll go straight to the election and skip the primary). 3 votes (in order of preference: 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice) during the election itself.

@Morons Actually, now is the time to answer as many questions about your nomination as you can. You will not really have an opportunity later beyond a single chat event that some voters might miss.

comment What do I need to learn of C# for ASP.NET?
I don't think this is a duplicate. This question specifically asks about which areas of C# are useful for ASP.NET.
