Down, White Fang! I only meant that for we "citizens", a ballot has not been "counted" until It has been passed among the hands of three octogenarians in the Town Hall Of New Braintree Mass, and one has said, "one Biden" and the other has said "one Biden" and the third has written it down, all while the Town Constable slumbers in the corner. I know that horse got out of the barn years ago, but still, that's transparency where I come from. Open source, open smorsh.

The continued use of *mystery* as an impossibility proof remains infuriatingly inept. What I continue to hear from that perspective is, "Let's all commit to the impossibility of knowing and just be done with the enlightenment project already". The idea, for those that bother to read, is to have a transparent and open-source development process. That some will forever be illiterate is sad, but many many many will be capable of reading the code. We already have the app, it is the USPS, so stop with the impossibility proofs already. -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
