All right, I see that. But the solutions I'm seeing proposed in this
thread seem to me equally unintuitive, albeit for the first-time
reader of the rules rather than for the experienced user.
How about if, in addition to my previous suggestion, we insert a new
item after (b) reading:
Upon the announcement of intent, the announcer
implicitly votes SUPPORT, unless e explicitly votes
OBJECT. This paragraph shall not be construed as
forbidding the announcer from retracting or altering
eir vote in the same message as the announcement of
intent or any later message.
and re-enumerate the paragraphs?
