Fred,
 
FR>WD> If the vote was not meant to be secret, there was no need for an
FR>WD> elaborate password system
 
FR> I don't consider it elaborate.
 
Semantics. Passwords were needed to protect the vote, hence a secret voting.
 
FR>WD> There also seems to be a vote by Sean Dennis which went the way of
FR>WD> the Dodo-bird and vanished. it is not mentioned in any of the
FR>WD> reporting ... this is the 2nd questionable vote.
 
FR> There must be some back channel I am not aware of....
 
There definitely is a backchannel where I picked it up ... a third reason to
step back: Breach of confidence.
 
FR> Are you trying to bait me into another breach of confidentiality?
 
Thank you for the confession, here's #4.
 
FR> I hear your opinion, but nothing you have said tells me that the results
FR> would be any different.
 
There could even be a #5 ...
