I'd like to nominate myself for election to the LiveJournal Advisory Board.

I've been a member of LiveJournal for eight years now (today is actually my LJ anniversary!), and was one of the first 3,000 users, so I've pretty much seen it all.

I'm a Permanent Account holder, and may have been the very first person to advertise on LJ, in a brief experiment that brad ran about seven years ago.

I live in Chicago, so the concepts of "Vote Early, Vote Often" and "the big envelope stuffed full of small bills" are second nature (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) ... you may not like the ethics, but remember, this is the City That Works!
