Or do you disagree that voting should be a responsibility of partnership?
If I was picky, I'd say voting is a right, and whoever sees it as a
responsibility should move into a dictature for a few years to find out
why. But I'm not, and I don't want to start another discussion like that on

Hi Mark,
I understood that someone (Adrian?) ran all the names through the US Patent
Trademark Office's db before we voted.
I wouldn't expect a commercial enterprise to name a product with "Free" as
the first sylable. (BTW, did those of you who plan to

Hmm, I think the one thing that is wrong with MC's interface is the fact
that it uses palettes. They just get in the way. I much prefer HC's

I will say though, this is a partnership, not a political democracy. All I
was asking for was the names of the people who voted, not how they voted.
In most partnerships and governing councils voting is not secret: each

The user interface (UI) is the means by which creators and viewers of FreeCard

and obtain instructions/assistance in it's use. Individual FreeCard documents
can build upon FreeUI or create an entirely different UI.
