It's mainly 6 messages, the rest are mostly made out of other candidates 
answers and sometimes someone asking candidates to clarify their answers.
Since it is an election and there are several good candidates, I want to 
cast my one vote on candidates that I know where they stand on these 
questions. Opinions on issues such as Dave's what the candidates see in 
a future ED, or Andy's if focus of the GNOME Foundation should be on 
product vs. technologies greatly affects how the board will function and 
vote.

I do actually keep a count on who replied to what thread, but I won't 
vote on reply-ratio alone.
I wanted to avoid a situation where a candidate slips under the radar on 
important matters and just get voted in on their name recognition in the 
community alone. Fortunately a lot of candidates have been very good at 
answering questions. Thank you everyone for taking the time to do that!
