..Nope.  Every other time a vote had been completed, Gene or Greg Woods
..IMMEDIATELY, without the approval of all the backbone admins, sent
..out the newgroup message.

Unh, Joe, how do you know that this is not the first time there hasn't
been consensus?  If the issue is highly divided, it seems well within
the rights of one member of the backbone list to say that consensus
hasn't been achieved.

The wording on the my first sentence is tricky, hence the Followup line.
