James: In case you're still curious, and since Mike isn't playing nicely, ATLO (as far as I can recall...) is a modification to condorcet where you specify a threshold in your rankings, which is ignored unless there is a circular result, in which case everyone below that line is truncated, and the vote is re-counted. AERLO is similar, except in the case of a circular tie, everyone above the line is bumped up to first place (I think). They are interesting techniques to consider when talking about condorcet strategy problems... Ken ---- Election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
