Yes, I believe I may have been partly responsible for this last detail. Greg wanted to change it to 21 days, but I pointed out that comp.unix.i386 would have failed under that criterion. I suspect he just put the "at least" in to shut me up. I also suspect that if you put more than a 30-day call for votes out you'd get the Sexton treatment. A 21-30 day range seems reasonable to me, at the proposer's whim. -- `-_-' Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. . 'U` Also or . "If you want PL/I, you know where to find it." -- Dennis
