I will not be casting votes of SELL (2VP); since I'm a Slave, anyone
can do that for me, and I think it's a reasonable assumption that if
nobody does so, nobody wants it done, so I shouldn't be punished if
the votes are never cast.

Unless you plan on buying it, I wish you wouldn't.  That vote is now
going to count toward quorum, regardless of whether anyone ends up
directing it or not.

Huh?  *re-reads Vote Market contract*  Oh dear, I've missed recording
any number of such votes that went unsold, though (a) it had little/no
substantive effect and (b) most of those results have ratified by now.

While I'm thinking of it, I also noticed over the weekend that I'd
missed recording three gains of a B note (two of them modulated) for
II=2 proposals.  I've fixed the database, and the next Conductor's
report will reflect the fix.

Well, given that I didn't want proposal 5707 to fail quorum, it was a
sensible action on my part, again whether it was directed or not.
Causing other people to vote PRESENT rather than NONE is a marginally
good deal on a proposal you want passed...
