Actually, part of the purpose of the recent scam was to leave as
little as possible to interpretation.  For example, I would have
bought Murphy's vote (or tried, at least) even if e had voted FOR, to
ensure an unambiguous FOR*votinglimit instead of the current ambiguous
situation.  Unfortunately I goofed up wrt 5952 leading to the glut of
CFJs; and of course the entire scam hinged around the increase clause.
 I actually didn't expect that the clause would generate so much
controversy.
