Sheesh!  Always thought Kropf was something of a whacko and now he's 
demonstrated it.

The metrics have already been developed and are firmly in place. They're 
called "elections".

Iffen the voters don't think you've earned your pay, they've got an easy

If Jeff Kropf doesn't think you've earned your pay, he and his "metrics" 
can go butt out.

Peace and justice,
