Hi Dave,

Simply meant to say that if one person received more votes than any other
individual, they have more votes than the rest (not combined). Lets say that
I give you one vote and nobody else does and Bernd "currently" has, say, 30
votes, he wins by having more votes. I thought it was simple, but too much
thought is being inserted into it. I give up, do as you will, say as you
must, vote for who you trust...

It is supposed to be fun so lets try and leave it that way.

Greg
