You know Matt, if the echo users would have been happy with the moderator, 
there wouldn't have been an effort to replace him.  The simplest way for a 
moderator to avoid elections is to make sure they don't exist.  Bjorn
attempted to do that in FN_SYSOP.

Now, if you are THAT unhappy with Bjorn as moderator, or so unhappy the you 
and/or Roy are no longer moderators, you have every right to do exactly what 
other users of FN_SYSOP did...create, campaign for and hold an election.

cya,
