I agree with you generally, but I see room for a little middle ground. For example, on matters which are performed "by submission to the CotC" or for private votes (which we don't have), the Officer can let it be known "I will consider clicking this radio button to be communication with me." As long as email remains an option for those who prefer it (mandated by the fact that PF posting is always communication, and results are posted to the PF regularly (so cheats can be spotted right away) I don't see why it wouldn't work. -Goethe
