The thing is, you only get a vote over someone else if they marked it. IOW, if I only mark "--1--", then my vote is as good as nothing, since I made no preference of one over the other. So not specifying a rank in the order pretty much alleviates that choice in the tally for that particular vote. So "-321-"(arbitrary) would register as: 1 For Bdale over Anand 1 For Bdale over Ben 1 For Ben over Anand **NOT** 1 For Bdale over Anand 1 For Bdale over Ben 1 For Bdale over Branden 1 For Bdale over Non-of-the above 1 For Ben over Anand 1 For Ben over Branden 1 For Ben over Non-of-the above 1 For Anand over Branden 1 For Anand over Non-of-the above -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
