No, if none of the three individually meets the 3:1 majority, then none of the items on the ballot passes. You clearly have the option to vote for all three (or any of the three) proposals as being preferred over 'Further discussion', and rank them individually according to your preference. If your *intent* is that you like A best, but think B is acceptable, then that's how you should vote. If you didn't vote that way, it's not valid to assume you *really* meant that B was an acceptable alternative. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
