Elections - Voting closes on 17 October

[Alain Berranger]

Hi Avri,

I understand and respect your viewpoint and decision, even if it does not
favor my vote count. However, I believe that it is not fair to other
candidates, from an electoral viewpoint, for me to answer the last 3
questions during the voting period, specially that people can change their
votes at will up to the last minute... quite an interesting voting practice,
which I have never heard of before! (...and we vote often in Canada! :o)
