Information wants to be free. I believe that the votes will be made public when the voting is complete. But I want people to decide on their own, not on the basis of what other people have or have not done (which would only encourage the factionalism that I am attempting to reduce). I would in fact be inclined to keep the voting a proper secret ballot, but I don't think that yahoogroups polls provide for that. The virtue of a secret ballot should not need to be debated. lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org To unsubscribe, send mail to lojban-unsubscribe@onelist.com Your use of Yahoo!
