rubbish.
from _Webster's New World Dictionary_ (without permission),

consensus - an opinion held by all or most, general agreement.
                                   ^^^^^^^
I say again.  A consensus was reached to vote.

Like the bulk of opinions you have posted lately, Mr. Becker,
the key word here is small.  You have repeatedly declared that
you could care less what the rest of the world has to say, and
you seem quite determined to make sure that the reverse is true.
Trust me, it is working.

It sounds to me like you are challenging the validity of this
vote.  Does this mean that you are retracting your vote?
I am not sure that the guidelines provide changing or withdrawing
a vote once it has been cast.

Sounds like a new topic for news.groups.
