No offense, but I think that voting for someone on so narrow an issue is wrong. 
 I would hope that members would select board members based on their ability to 
lead and their responsiveness to the opinions and desires of the membership, 
not based on what they think of _Computing Systems_ (which, by the way, I think 
is one of the best things going for USENIX).

I humbly suggest you voice your opinion about _Computing Systems_ *after* the 
election, either at the various open Board Meetings or via e-mail or USENET.  
There's ample opportunity to contact the board members, and in my experience, 
they *all* bend over backwards in responsiveness.  They may not agree with you, 
but they'll make sure you are heard and your opinions are considered.
