I suppose this would only happen if *no-one* voiced a "no" opinion, meaning that our definition of "trust" comes down to a question of burden of proof. Should someone be required to have a minimum proportion of "yes" votes to be counted as "trusted" or should it be enough that no-one really thought that they weren't to be trusted? Have there ever been any "betrayals" of trust? (i.e. has any TU ever abused privileges?) Pete.
