It is your right to disagree, ... But still it is your civil obligation to vote, at

I was subscribed, expected to receive mail there, didn't receive any. ...

But if you know there is a vote, and if it is important to you, you can take the
time and find more info about it, if you don't know about it, you cannot.
Ok lets stop here, i subscribed to both debian-vote and debian-devel-announce and
will receive the next vote i hope. I don't think i would have voted anyway, since i
don't have pgp installed here. but still it would have been nice to know about it.
