Hi-- I just want to say that I wrote a 2nd letter to [EMAIL PROTECTED], to correct the typo in my UUCC definition, and to define Condorcet's method. The UUCC typo was: In the last line, I said "...whom that voter likes more than Xc", when I meant to say "...whom that voter likes _less_ than Xc". I wanted to balance my letter about Approval with something about Condorcet. So I stated the reason for rank balloting, so that we can express all of our preferences. I then told of how, if we want those preferences all to be fully & reliably counted, the pairwise-count is the way to count the rankings. Then I described Condorcet's solution for when a cycle prevents there from being an unbeaten candidate. I defined PC & SD. Then I stated the criteria that are met only by Condorcet's method: SFC, GSFC, NDDC, MDC, & BC. (Formerly, NDDC was called WDSC, and MDC was called SDSC. I call SrDSC MDC2).
