In other words, 100 more 'delete' than 'keep' votes should be required. An exception should be made for sittuations where less than 10 'keep' votes are registered, as this obviously signifies a group with very little interest. Again, this could all be modified to percentages, which I think is a jolly good idea. %%%% Geva %%%% Geva Patz
