> This is the way most voting systems work
In my experience, most voting systems work by prior
intimation that interested individuals should cast their
vote.

> I don't know why you're so het up about it
So, the fact that I have chosen to express an opinion means
that I am "het up about it" ! - or is it just because I have
chosen to present an alternate view?

> So the v3.0 method is still way out in front
However, it is not a competition, nor a race, nor (for that
matter) is it a vote!

In a previous entry to the thread, you wrote:
>>I hope that Calico Pie would want to use the comments on
this list to gauge opinion.
>> That doesn't look to be a ringing endorsement of the
change. Can we have a statement from Calico Pie on the
future of this issue?

If you consider the other perspective, that since the
release of the software only 4 individuals have expressed
concern about the change, then the possible inference is
that the majority of the userbase are either in favour, or
neutral. Why should they change the code for such a
minority?

right to use this list for "Discussing and
sharing of information regarding the Family Historian
genealogy software program."

in connection with this thread - who persistently try to
deny others that discussion and sharing of information.
I have been a member of this list for over 4 years, and I
can't identify what prompted these comments.
Nobody, to my knowledge is seeking to deny that facilty, but
I would deny anyone on this list the right to use a few
comments on a topic to be summarised and presented to the
management of Calico Pie as the majority view of the list
membership.
