[atlarge-discuss] More Nonsense to:Re: [atlarge-discuss] Poll watcher rights and duties

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Stephen and all fellow members,

  Yes it is unreasonable.  Internet Cafe's, Eric's favorite folks, are indeed
true users, but not identifiable adequately if at all, enough to participate.
This was debated several times of this forum, and the DNSO GA some time
ago now..

  It seems obvious that Eric is attempting to yet again engineer a
take over with his Shoe-Shine boys and girls that only have a
connection to the internet at an Internet Cafe.  Those Cafe's
are fraught with fraud and huge spam artists.  Yet a few are
well managed...  So how do you propose that a differentiation
be effected?  Word of mouth perhaps?  Lord I hope not!

  UUCP is a different matter.  That can be fairly easily handled
with a gateway software solution or even and integration solution.
OpenBSD has several listed vendors/software developers
that provide such solutions, for example.  But building
either from scratch would be very time consuming, problematic,
and need lots of testing before it should be used for voting
purposes.  Hence a "Canned" solution here is best under
the circumstances.
