I am not really commenting on this (see my last post), but I think
the real confusion/argument people are having with all these
"voting" issues boils down to this.  Dan (as creator and overall

issue is decided one way or the other.  This is the fundamental
source of conflict.  Look back at the previous postings if you don't
