[EM] cyclic ballots

[Paul Kislanko]

OK, I give up. This board is too hard to use and there's no one on it who
cares about any opinion but their own. 

Y'all have a nice life, but don't expect any of us real people to adopt any
of your proposals.

Paul,
	Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I don't think that you are genuinely
replying
to many of the messages which you are ostensibly replying to. In this
case, you continue to speak about axiology when my post was about
addressing practical problems. Hence, it's a non-reply.

Sincerely,
James
