Thank you! It's always bothered me when people around here say "membership selection is ritual." It seems almost disrespectful to be throwing the word ritual around to apply to the kinds of things that go on in membership selection. From where I stand, ritual isn't just another word for 'secret' or 'private,' it refers to a specific set of very important ideas and actions, of which voting (and whatever malicious and judgemental things may or may not go on during MS) are not a part.
