Dear Alex Small your FBC manuscript looks interesting. The typesetting is sometimes annoying (use of * for multiply).
Kevin Venzke is quite right he invented MDDA not me. Ossipoff has 2 Fs. Warren D. Smith has a "D." Your paper is long. It needs to be written to be more accessible. Think how to provide fast-access routes for the reader who wants to know certain things (make a list of what things various typical readers might want to know, and find a way to make them be able to find it fast). Like put a table of contents, table of FBC-complaint methods, index, I dunno. It is not easy for a newbie to quickly assimilate what's important in your paper. See also the end of http://rangevoting.org/FBCsurvey.html where the Smith-Simmons theorem is mentioned, see http://rangevoting.org/SimmonsSmithPf.html somehow I feel this theorem has heavy importance and you ought to discuss it to some degree. Among your SFBC compliant methods, you might want to compare. Which should we like and why. But I haven't really read the thing yet :) -- Warren D.
