I don't consider it elaborate.

See my previous response to you.  If the voters want to make it known, they
will.

Your opinion has been noted.

There must be some back channel I am not aware of....  Sean knows what happened
and he knows why.  I notified him via NetMail.  If he wants to discuss it here
let him bring it up himself.

Are you trying to bait me into another breach of confidentiality?

I hear your opinion, but nothing you have said tells me that the results would
be any different.
