(don't be so grumpy..... - or be aware that this could come across as grumpy at least)I recall the grumbles when Greg sent something out last year or the year before, and feel the same about this as that - the folk sending the email are using an imperfect system, but overall it's worth it - I'm hope that those feeling personally affronted by such an approach can take solace in something or other, and just generally relax a notch or two.... :-)Oh, I am not affronted. I am thrilled that the election committee decided that computer engineers should be rewarded for their ingenuity by allowing their fine opinion to be counted twice. This motivates me to write more bots for next year. p.s. can the election committee ensure that votes from bot accounts are not counted?? p.p.s. if I can have another free vote, I will gladly write a bot to help the election committee to discount bot votes...
The election software should automatically prevent an account flagged as bot from voting in the first place. The committee then have the task of manually vetting the caste votes to ensure only one vote is submitted/counted by each human.
