(NY, NY) Lines: 35 Summary: rules for voting; pay attention this time! In article <2212@phri.UUCP> I wrote: > I hereby propose that net.general be deleted. and went on to describe how you should cast your vote. Aparantly most of you didn't pay attention and are going to have your votes counted not the way you intended. Please keep in mind that the votes are going to be counted by a shell script and nobody is actually going to look at most of the responses. The question is "should we delete net.general?" To vote "yes", send mail to gen-vote@phri.UUCP with a Subject line that includes the string "delete net.general". It is sufficient to simply reply to this article and leave the generated "Subject: Re:" line alone if you want to vote "yes". If you want to vote "no", make sure the Subject line has the string "keep net.general" in it. If you reply to this article and don't alter the subject, the Subject line will, by default, say "Re: Let's delete net.general" -- this will be counted as a "yes" vote by my shell script regardless of what you say in the body of the letter. In either case, if you include the string "discussion" somewhere in the Subject line, your letter will (in addition to being counted as a vote one way or the other), be picked out for reading by me. Do this if you want to include some text that you want me to read. If all you want to do is register your vote, you need not use this "feature". It is *not* necessary for you to say "Yes, delete it" or "No, keep it" in the body of your letter -- the Subject line says it all. If you want to add discussion without casting a vote, make the Subject read simply "discussion". -- Roy Smith, {allegra,philabs}!phri!roy System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016
