[Election-Methods] Quitting voting systems again

[Michael Ossipoff]

I'm quitting voting systems again. You might say that's of no interest, so 
why should a list-member announce it. For one thing, it explains why I don't 
reply to rebuttals. And, in general, I like to post an explanation for why I 
won't reply to subsequent messages. That's more polite.

I enjoyed the subject while I was doing it, but I feel that it's time to 
quit it now.

About rebuttals: Ordinarily I'd be delighted to find rebuttals, because I 
like to reply to them. And previous times when I quit, I answered all the 
existing rebuttals before quitting, so that it wouldn't look as if I was 
evading replying.

But this time, if I answer any of them, or even read them, then I haven't 
quit voting systems when I said I was, and haven't done a very good job of 
keeping my promise. So, this time I'm not replying to rebuttals or even 
reading them. If that makes it look as if I'm evading answering them because 
they're irrefutable, then so be it. But I think that you'll find answers to 
any rebuttals, in my recent postings.

My usual disclaimer: If I don't reply to something, it isn't because it's 
irrefutable; it's only because I've quit voting systems.

I've said what I have to say, about voting systems in general, and about 
recent topics in particular.

This time, rebutters get the last word.
