What you're saying is basicaly that a technicality can turn the 3:1 requirement in the Constitution into a simple majority requirement? I'm not sure if this is so, but if it is, I think it's unfortunate that we have such language in the Constitution. IMO it should be either removed for consistency or fixed so that it actually has the intended effect. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
