    @Vitaly, It's pronounced three-na-fish (one better than tunafish)

  • Can someone explain me (or point me to a link) the voting system? Why are there different rounds?

  • @stefan.s: We use a single transferable vote system. The rounds occur when votes are transferred either because a candidate is eliminated or elected. Often the results are identical to a straight vote, but when there are multiple candidates and positions STV systems work better in important edge cases.

I wish I could see at least one girl in the list of moderators. Looking forward to see females next time :)

UX.StackExchange is a fantastic place

due to the community, but also because the moderators do a great job. I have the utmost respect for the first group of moderators BenBrocka, JonW and Rahul - thank you so much guys!

Given how impressively active Benny Skogberg and JohnGB have been, I'm absolutely sure they'll do a great job too - congratulations!
