Yuck. I thought it was bad when I did that task (previous two elections) +- at that time they put 50 or so names per page, and it took about a dozen pages to get everybody. One page per letter is worse. I understand SF is trying to prevent spammers from harvesting names, but there has got to be a way to allow a legitimate person to capture the entire list at once. > and I copied once for each page.

I see a few other options but they don't seem as good. I'm not on IRC at the moment so they didn't talk to me, but I agree 100%. Ballots should go out to the missed voters, and ALL voters should get the opportunity to return their ballots. > I'm really sorry I screwed this up. > > Chris > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
