If you're so damned sure you'll get c.u.w. back again regardless of HOW the voting is done, then why don't you stop this idiotic 'back-door' vote and do it the same way everyone else has. FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES! Sure you sent Elliot a CFV. With a notice that voting started in the beginning of Oct. Good timing. Why didn't you send it when YOU started this debacle? Above, you said something important: > and of course the goal in the end is really just to > recreate the damned group ... Then WHY do you insist on stirring things up by deliberately ignoring the very same guidelines that everyone else finds easy to follow? Even if your supposed 'valid vote' shows c.u.w. passes, it will be meaningless since that group has long since been aliased elsewhere. Besides that, consider this: Voting AGAINST your proposal is a tacit admission by the voter that you are running a valid vote, something I have no doubt you will use to trumpet your claim of validity when it suites you. If you have such great faith in the massive support for c.u.w. you claim exists, then put it to a LEGITIMATE vote and stop playing semantic games regarding the guidlines. *>> Dave <<* [------------------------------------------------------ Dave Ratcliffe -----] : uunet!rutgers!psuvax1!eds1!wa3wbu!compnect!dave | The Data Factory BBS : : uunet!wa3wbu!compnect!dave | (717)657-4997 : : dave@compnect.uucp or compnect!dave@uunet.UU.NET | (717)657-4992 : [------------------------------------------------------ Harrisburg Pa. ----]
