  It brings up the question of why one site with 40 readers has less
influence than 10 readers on workstations. And how do I count the people
reading via rrn? Do I count readers (~1000), workstations (~300) or
copies of the articles on disk (1).

  I'm not knocking your proposal, just noting that it brings up issues
on its own. My suggestion that votes by sysdms only *weighted by phone
bills* was intended to spur some better suggestions, but all the people
who don't pay the bills think I'm trying to disenfranchise them. I am.
