Works for me. It's much nicer to have an informal system that works -- as long as it is possible to tell when the system is being subverted. Presumably this is a four-state vote: +1 approve 0 cannot decide -1 disapprove -- no opinion Anyone not emailing is deemed to have cast a -- vote all of which are automatically discarded. Votes such as +100 will presumably be renormalized to +1. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
