I see that "vote" cast in the subject of the e-mail. I smiled when I saw it, not thinking about how it may fail to be counted.
I also note that the original [VOTE] message does not say much about the rules for how votes should be replies to the original [VOTE] thread. So there's not much allowance for the fact that not everyone on ooo-dev is up on the protocol for conducting votes on Apache lists. I'm happy to leave it to the initiator of the [VOTE] to determine whether that non-binding vote is tallied or not, let alone even noticed. (I do my tallies by sorting on subject and I would never see that one. But that's only how I do it. I also flag them as I see them come in, but the sorting wouldn't catch that one.) - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: TJ Frazier [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 12:30 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Reminder on Voting On 11/10/2011 14:56, Dennis E.
