Works for me.  It's much nicer to have an informal system that works --
as long as it is possible to tell when the system is being subverted.

Presumably this is a four-state vote:

	+1 approve
	0 cannot decide
	-1 disapprove
	-- no opinion

Anyone not emailing is deemed to have cast a -- vote all of which are
automatically discarded.  Votes such as +100 will presumably be
renormalized to +1.

Russel.
