Just a slight clarification - the "official rules" (Rules? We don't need 
no steenkin' rules! :-) state that at least 100 more YES votes than NO 
votes must be tallied _within a 30 day period_ (hence the cut-off date of 
April 18th). So many people seem to be ignorant as to the procedure for 
creating a news group that I just thought I'd point this out (What? You
don't read the news.* groups? For shame! :-).

Brian is completely correct about the voting requirements. E-mail votes 
are the only ones that count, so please let's not clutter this discussion 
any more than necessary. We thank you for your support.
