Well, that is one possible solution (let it ride). I don't know what the level 
of email address duplication is, so I don't know the risk.

Voting systems generally have to make a lot of effort to be fair, otherwise 
detractors can reasonably claim that the result is not valid. And as this is 
somewhat of a bike-shed level decision, you should expect a great deal of 
interest and passion!

Given the size of the group, and the extremely high standard of the
members when it comes to moral fibre, common sense, intelligense, etc,
etc, do we really need to enforce prevention of duplication?

I was wondering if you were addressing duplication. I've been subscribed to 
café for a long time with at least two email addresses (work and home) but I 
don't think I should be getting two votes.
