Do 'sites' that are just a PC in someone's bedroom get the same vote as 'sites' that are a network of 10s or 100s of business systems with 100s or 1000s of users? Maybe there should be two 'voting committees', one that is one vote per site, and one that is 1 vote per every n systems. Both 'committees' would have to ratify a vote before the issue was deemed to have passed. And maybe there should be a 'chairperson' who would have the last word and could over-rule the two 'committees'. And maybe there could be a provision that if the 'chairperson' vetoed the vote of the two groups, the groups could over-rule the 'chairperson' with some super majority vote. And how about terminals, shouldn't they be counted as at least some percent of a full site? What about dumb terminal vs smart terminals? And aren't some smart terminals better than others? Tom, Ben... get in here. I think we may have something. Why don't you write this up? Don't forget to put in something about individual and site's rights issues. BTW, should we address the issue of standing armies? -- _____ / \ / Gary A.
