Just for your edification- I'm writing a program in Q-BASIC (ya, ya, I can
hear you sniggering from here) to aid the Electoral Commissioner
conducting STV elections for Cyberia ( http://vcc.4mg.com ). I might
consider putting it up, along with the proposed legislation that
accompanies it. It won't be too exciting.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.

I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
