Absolutely! I thought I'd ask anyway, given we saw the breakdown between on-site and on-line voting. But the refusal by the EC to sanction publication of the per-category split (implying that it is known) actually reveals something else. ;-) If each membership category voted roughly 30:70, then it would be hard to tell which member voted which way unless there was a certain category with limited membership numbers that voted solidly in one direction. I find this fascinating...! philip --
