Re: SUO: SUMO Ballot Results
CORRECTION CORRECTION CORRECTION.
when i stated (see below): "after all, there must be nothing secret about how the
votes proceeded from day to day," i definitely did not mean that there was
anything kept secret as to the question of who voted what. the email votes were
forwarded as is to everybody on the list over a period of two weeks (i think) and
the voting was open. what i did not know, could not get, and could not tabulate
myself, was to total number of votes as they added up from day today. this is
what i would have wanted to know before the ballot closed. i assume the
tabulator knew those numbers and right or wrong i feel i should have know them
too before the ballot closed on 15aug2001.
