Not that I particularly care about this outcome, but there were only "42" Yes votes, and "2" No votes. As the voting says for the second part "ONLY IF YOU CHOSE 'YES' ABOVE: ", there should only be 42 votes in the second part, and not 44 like there are now (21+23)... so there is something wonky. I would recommend, not to do split votes like this anymore. It's just too confusing IMO. cheers, Derick -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
