Not true; he may have missed a post of mine.  Some time ago, in response to a 
*premature* assumption on Vittorio's part that I had committed not to be a

declared that I would not be a candidate.  For one election cycle only.

This is do-able, but may be tedious given the realities of the list.  With 
regard to counting/verifying votes, patience will be a virtue.
