In general, though, I have to admit that I don't understand what the problem is. A.6.3 ranks your choice against the defaukt option, not against anything else. Thus, voting CDAB instead of CABD doesn't affect the chances of C winning, it only changes the chances of A or B winning if C isn't accepted by the (super)majority. -- Matthias Urlichs | {M:U} IT Design @ m-u-it.de | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Disclaimer: The quote was selected randomly.
