This has the potential for dragging on for months, and the debate up until now hasn't been exactly productive. The SSDF is a volunteer organization. They do this stuff for fun. If they made a mistake, it might be wise to point it out to them, but a huge long controversy may make them feel like their work is not appreciated, and they may stop doing it. This is a problem when you have a small body of people actually doing something, and a much larger body criticizing everything they do. The group who are doing the work don't have fun anymore. The founders of this group got a taste of this when I second-guessed some of their decisions recently. And you're probably getting a taste of it too, having to deal with those bozos on r.g.c.c. who exist only to disparage everything that isn't completely entropic, including this board, which is a service that I am grateful for and that I hope you continue to provide. The SSDF has gotten enough of this recently and doesn't need more, and this voting thing is just going to stir up more. bruce
