Eh, I guess I could have been more obvious than prepending that sentence with "Fun!" to indicate that I was making a joke. But if you'd read on, you'd have seen that I actually completely agree with you: ! Getting seconds is not a vote. It's a low-level check that there is ! minimum support for an opinion. Though on reflection maybe "low-level" is not the term I was looking for there. I meant to say basic or rough. And "minimum" should maybe have been "minimal". Maybe I'll go read a dictionary tomorrow and brush up on my English (I have a nice 1700 page Collins Cobuild here; should keep me occupied for a couple of hours).
