Mike, You wrote these two statements in the same posting: >CR passes the Majority Criterion. ... >CR fails the Majority Criterion.
http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2005-April/015737.html Judging by the context, I don't think that either statement was a mere typo. Apparently you believed that CR passes the majority criterion when you began to write your reply, but during the course of your reply, you learned that CR does not pass the majority criterion. Perhaps you learned this from reading the example I provided, where CR fails the majority criterion. This suggests to me that you write some or all of your posts in a stream of consciousness manner, replying to a message bit by bit before you even finish reading the whole message. It also suggests that you do not read your posts after you write them. If you had, I assume that you would have noticed and deleted your earlier statement "CR passes the majority criterion" before sending the message to the list. I suggest that you should consider reading each message in its entirety before you reply to it bit by bit. This should help reduce wasted effort on your part, and confusion on the part of those who read your posts.
