Subject: Acka: Voting Report Errors

There were a couple of errors in the voting results that were posted
yesterday. In the first batch, Proposals 2868 through 2877, Wild Card
was tabulated as being on vacation, when in fact he had already
returned some time ago. Fortunately this has no effect on anything,
since we are well within the requirements of quorum.

More importantly, in the second batch, Proposal 2878 through 2883,
Pandora was listed as having voted YES every time, when in fact he had
voted NO. (This was due to a regrettable cut-and-paste error on my
part.) This does not alter the outcome of any of the proposals, all of
which passed/failed by wide margins, but once again, I must extend
formal apologies to our Scorekeeper.

As a general reminder to all, you should always spot-check my reports
every now and then to make sure I have listed your vote correctly.
Nomicbot gets a lot of mail, and I'm hardly infallible. In addition,
as some of you may have already noticed, I am changing my current
setup in order to get a real nomicbot working. Doing this without
interrupting normal business requires some temporary jury-rigging on
my part, so things are a little hectic. Bear with me.
