I did vote for him in 2000 (in Calif.); his silence since the last election has been deafening. I will not vote for him again. If I'm going to "throw away a vote" I'd rather give it to Camejo or a socialist candidate.

To vote for Kerry in California is to "throw away a vote." Camejo, if he decides to run at all, will run as a VP candidate on a Nader/Camejo ticket. (As I said, Camejo has been running in primaries not to promote himself, but to push for the Green Party nomination of Nader.) Running in presidential elections costs enormous amounts of money, time, energy, etc., which only left-wing intellectuals of the Nader class can command. The last time around, it was Nader's money and the Green Party's manpower, and it will be so this time as well, unless the Green Party got enormously richer unbeknownst to me.

Well, you look adorable in a prequel to _The Blair Witch Project_. :->

but do activists really need to hear him, seems to me that non-activists need to hear him (i'd rather they heard folks mentioned above, and you as well)...
First of all, Greens need to hear Nader, to rediscover their spine. It seems that they are.

I've never heard Nader speak, so I don't know if he's boring or not. But what was all that I heard in 2000 about large groups of college-age kids being excited by Nader?
