I have a little, bitty problem with the vote tallying software:

Return-Path: <daemon@pit-manager.MIT.EDU>
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 93 21:32:57 -0500
To: terry@cs.weber.edu (A Wizard of Earth C)
Subject: mail-server: vote acknowledgement
Reply-To: mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu
Precedence: bulk

-----cut here-----
The following votes have been received and recorded:

FOR comp.os.386bsd.announce.
FOR comp.os.386bsd.bugs.
FOR comp.os.386bsd.development.
AGAINST comp.os.386bsd.apps.
FOR comp.os.386bsd.questions.
FOR comp.os.386bsd.misc.

-----cut here-----

I figures applications to be generally useful on all Berkeley systems, not
just 386BSD; alt.sources and comp.os.386bsd.misc, comp.os.386bsd.development,
comp.os.386bsd.announce, and comp.sources.*/comp.binaries.* seemed to
cover it for me.


Either way, the automatic tally is wrong.

Anyone else see this?
