I should have been more clear: Whether that article addresses rounding up, down or sideways, it's an awfully long article for what should be a fairly simple thing... I know I started zoning out long before the halfway mark. I certainly didn't do the math for every example from every country/quorum/entity... Actually, if we used the "abstain == no" logic of some bodies, I don't think any of our RFCs would pass :-) -- brain cancer update: http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/search/label/brain%20tumor Donate: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FS9NLTNEEKWBE
