The 2/3 majority and 100-NO-vote-veto will not be necessary if we can separate group birth from group christening. As has been pointed out multitimes, most significant naysaying is a result of bad naming. Yes, the system failed in this case, assuming the vote count was (ahem) accurate. But this one failure does not mean the Death of the Net, altho, judging from Richard's last posting, it might mean the Death of Richard if his apoplexy proves fatal. Jeff Daiell BTW #1, I support Peter's call for a news.groups.puns. But how about a comp.org.ieee.puns, too? I think they could use the levity. BTW #2, I'm not going to reply to Lori's last posting. Let some other boas and girls continue that thread. Irony: 213 years after the start of the American Revolution, it's easier for opposition parties to get on the ballot in England than in most States of our own Union. -- "'Tis not too late to seek a newer world." -- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
