An abusive Tribune is out quickly 2) If one Tribune starts abusing eir office, the other can block them. The only person a Tribune can seriously hurt is another Tribune. 3) A Tribune can always force new elections to be called by stepping down, barring the other Tribune from running for two elections. -- -Henry Towsner Thank heavens, the sun has gone in, and I don't have to go out and enjoy it. -Logan Pearsall Smith ------------------------------ End of acka-research Digest V4 #43 **********************************
