Looks like your new system is teaching you properly.
I tried printing with smaller characters - and each line filled out
properly.
I tried making the page wider or narrower - still properly got as many
words on each line as would fit.

try to make a paragraph division, I'll instead end up with an
endless line? Sorry, but I'm having difficulty sending readable e-
mail wth my new computer system. Now let's try a paragraph and find
out if that works:
I'm copying the posting here, and will then rewrite it without the
carriage-returns. What is sent will be the verion without the
carriage-returns.(except for new paragraphs). One problem is that
the "zoom" scale keeps changing, which could make nonsense of the
automatic linebreaks.
SODA can be described to someone in a brief way that people accept.
In a recent convefrsation, I described SODA, and the person
considered it acceptable. You're specifying the rules in too much
detail. The initiative street-descrliption needn't be legal
language, though that should be available upon request. Likewise,
for the computer program of MTAOC, MCAOC and AOC.
So here's how I described SODA to that person:
It's like Approval, but, if you vote only for one person, you can
optionally check a box indicating that you want that candidate to be
able to add approval votes to your ballot on your behalf if s/he
doesn't win. S/he will have previously published a ranking of
candidates to indicate the order in which s/he would give such
designated approvals.
That's it. That brief descriptionl tells how the method works.
As I said yesterday, it seems to me that it would be much more
publicly-accepable if the default assumption is non-delegation. If
someone wants to delegate, they can check the box.
I'd better send this before the system finds a way to mess it up
more, or freeze the computer, etc.
(more when I can fix the remaining run-on lines in the posting)

more complicated than Approval. Of course sometimes you only have
time to mention Approval.
(The problem causing the lack of linebreaks was probably opposite to
what I'd believed it was. I should make sure that I let my text
editor do the linebreaks automatically. That will probably be more l
ikely to be transmitted in e-mail than my carriage-return
characters.)
