I want a recount! ;-)
No seriously, when was this vote? 1993?
Relatively recent.
How many people voted? How well do they represent the current people on the list?
These are the pertinent questions. It's not so much the count as the representation. The casual subscribers, those who frequent friendlier lists and want it done the way most lists do it, would have been less likely to notice a pending vote announcement. OTOH, the militant regulars with their reply-to-list buttons would have been less likely to miss the opportunity to rubber stamp the general minority status quo.
When is the next election?
Probably when hell freezes over.
IMHO there is no place for democracy in Software Libre - only benevolent dictatorship.
Democracy is tyranny of the majority. People in USA holler about it a lot, yet USA is a republic, which is not the same thing. -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."
