  But it WAS up to you, Gordon. You CHOSE to consult your users before
casting your site vote. Commendable of you, but that's exactly what is
meant by a site vote! A truly competent site administrator is capable
of casting a site vote which differs from his own personal preferences
if it truly reflects the users/management at that site. I envy you
that you are actually able to vote for the netnews readers' interests.
I end up voting with the administrators' interestes, tempered as much
as possible by my own personal persuasions (which, I'd like to think,
reflect the occasional netnews readers' here interest for generic
continuation of netnews capability).
