The draft ballot was posted to this list earlier; all this simple additions were not caught and proposed by anyone. Huh. Looking at the ballot: ,---- | ... | Do not erase anything between the lines below and do not change the | choice names. | ... | In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1. Place a 2 in | the brackets next to your next choice. Continue till you reach your | last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger than 4. | You may skip numbers. You may rank options equally (as long as all | choices X you make fall in the range 1 <= X <= 4). | ... | Then mail the ballot to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - - -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | stuff. | - - -=-=-=-=-=- Don't Delete Anything Between These Lines =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- `---- It also fails to say how you can type in a 1, and a 2, and a 3. Or how to use a mail program. It also fails to tell one that one should power on a computer as well, and that one needs to set up a MTA. what a sorry excuse for a ballot. manoj -- "By the time they had diminished from 50 to 8, the other dwarves began to suspect "Hungry." -- a Larson cartoon Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.debian.org/~srivasta/> 1024D/BF24424C print 4966 F272 D093 B493 410B 924B 21BA DABB BF24 424C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
