i also got hung up on the use of the word ``quorum''. at first, i saw the word quorum, and i saw that that was not at all what was going on. i assumed that the people initially drafting the system meant quorum, not some ``buy-in'' thing. so i crafted an amendment that restored the meaning of quorum to quorum. it also brought us closer to a Condorcet/Cloneproof SSD method of tallying. after pondering, i came up with another idea tht gives us a pure Condorcet/Cloneproof SSD, provides with applicable buy-in, and supports supermajorities. please see http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2003/debian-vote-200305/msg00203.html Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -john
