Absolutely. In fact, it should BE "the decision making process" when
there is a difference of opinion. That's the whole point of the two
voting threads.

I keep my word. I said I'd abide by the decision of the group, and
since it is (in effect) a "removal" vote rather than a "ware ballot,"
a simple majority should decide either way.

The "Trialware" ballot thread currently stands at

(1) ePrompter is Trialware. 1 vote

(2) ePrompter is NOT trialware. 3 votes

The "trialware" ballot closes Sat, 20 Jan 2007 22:30:54 (10:30pm CST,)
one week from the original post. The "freeware" ballot closes Sun, 21
Jan 2007 15:48:09 (3:48pm CST) based on the original time stamp. If a
majority of the group says EITHER "ePrompter is Trialware" OR
"ePrompter is NOT Freeware," it should be removed from the
Pricelessware List.

Additionally, if we're going to be consistent and "da rules" matter,
if the group decides "ePrompter is NOT Freeware" it becomes OFF TOPIC
for discussion, and it's ware type should be changed to "NOT Freeware"
in the master program index.

On the other hand, if there is NOT a majority in favor of removing
ePrompter on EITHER issue(as indicated in the final vote tally) when
the votes close, then it stays IF it wins BOTH ballots.

Any objections?
