So, what can one conclude about debian from the above justification? Are candidates petty and personal enough to wage vendettas if you don't vote for them? Do voters think that enough candidates are that crass that it would be a problem? Are voters unwilling to take a full part in democracy and face being asked to justify their vote? In short, do debian voters not have the courage to stand up and be counted? Actually, I believe some haven't: one who told me in private mail that they would vote to recall the DPL didn't do so, after it became obvious it was a public vote. I think the vote should be public, but there should also be harsh penalties for anyone acting on those votes outside the election. If there's no good way to do that, then allow it to be secret, but that's about the only valid reason to me. Regards, -- MJ Ray - see/vidu http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Somerset, England.
