Don't lecture me on voting, Gavin. Read the the "Apache Voting Process" [1], the section on "Implications of Voting", with my emphasis: "The tacit implications of voting should be spelt out in the community's guidelines. However, in no case may someone's vote be considered invalid if the implied commitment doesn't appear to be met; ***a vote is a formal expression of opinion, not of commitment***" I am expressing my opinion in this vote, and my opinion is not going to be limited to the three opinions that Dennis (or you) deigns to offer me. If it is arrogant to have an opinion beyond what you might have, then thank God for arrogance!
