Holding a formal vote as a way of discovering (e.g. spelunking, humorously) whether a consensus exists is fine. My point, such as it was, is that once you have a supply of -1 votes, you're really done. It doesn't matter exactly how much time has passed, or whether you put RESULTS in a subject line, or any of those things. You've learned that there is no consensus for the proposal.
I guess you misunderstood my concern to do it right, fair and equal for me pushing through a point. I agree it was rather mechanical, but hey, it served a purpose. I'm happy with the results. Indeed very happy. I've strong feeling whe have really accomplished something. And somehow i think it is impolite to ignore a vote once it is cast, and that was probably the main driver for the tally of vetos. And really i could not think of another way to determine the consensus.
