Those numbers are *completely* incorrect. A serious slip there,
although the basic facts are as reported. Anyway, a quick examination
of the data below will show that there were 10/16 votes, and the
proposal passed with a vote of 8/10 YES. My apologies.

Proposal 2357
Nuke the Mute Flea (again)
Malenkai (Randy Hall)

I was young and foolish then, I feel old and foolish now.

This is a Modest proposal. Repeal rule 909, "Steel Flea". 

{{[this one seems like its getting stale; I mean, why should I roll for it
if no one feels like doing it]}}
