Actually, he's conducting a vote on a group that may not exist yet:
rec.aquari{a,ums}. The STV system is being used to determine if the
majority really _did_ vote for sci, or aquaria. Why are you threatened
by that?

>Why was there no discussion period prior to this vote?

No discussion? NO DISCUSSION? Have you ignored the terabytes of
discussion over the past couple of months, drowning out all else here?

Because it's the only way of settling the aquaria controversy.

>Why are his voting instructions biased against sci.aquaria?

Explain. I see no such bias.

Because, I suspect, it was a legitimate call for votes.
(Am I right, Greg?)

What does this have to do with your screed against Peter? For that
matter, why should he, especially since he doesn't support the use of
illegal drugs with his machine anyway?

>Is Greg Woods being a fair-minded and unbiased moderator?

Perhaps too much so.

>Does Peter Da Saliva have a mind at all?

More so than you...after all, he's not a mindless Richard Sexton
sycophant.
