Line 10:
To: [elections-reform, election-methods]<br />
<p>
I'm starting up an "election-methods-list" list to discuss single-winner<br/>
reform, the relative merits of different PR systems, and the technical<br/>
underpinnings of all election methods. This list is intended to <br/>
compliment, not to replace, the existing "elections-reform" list. <br/>
</p><p>
Please continue to discuss the various electoral reform movements in the<br/>
U.S. and throughout the world in the "elections-reform" list. <br/>
"elections-reform" is still the best forum for discussing strategies used <br/>
in reform campaigns, specific legislation addressing reform, and <br/>
educational material about reform.<br/>
</p><p>
What is the difference, you ask? "election-methods-list" discussions will<br/>
most likely be more technical in nature, with the ultimate goal of<br/>
providing recommendations and educational material to the members of<br/>
"elections-reform". There have been complaints in the past that<br/>
discussions on "elections-reform" have been too technical, and<br/>
"election-methods-list" has been created to offload the more prolific<br/>
technical discussions to "elections-reform". It lets folks use<br/>
"elections-reform" to stay abreast of current activity in electoral<br/>
reform without fear of their inbox exploding. <br/>
</p><p>
To subscribe to "election-methods-list", send mail to majordomo at eskimo.com
with no subject line (any subject will be ignored), and the following one<br/>
line in the body of your message: <br/>

My apologies to anybody who stumbled on the web page that I set up a week<br />
ago at <code><nowiki>http://www.eskimo.com/~robla/cpr/election-methods.html</nowiki></code><ref>User:RobLa's old "politics" page can now be found at Internet Archive at this address: [https://web.archive.org/web/19970817085911/http://www.eskimo.com/~robla/politics/index.html http://www.eskimo.com/~robla/politics/index.html]</ref> and tried <br/>
to subscribe (and failed, because the list didn't exist yet). In the time I<br/>
was waiting for the list to get set up, I set up the web page.<br />Everything should *now* work according to the instructions on that page.<br />
</p><p>
That's all there is to it. Let me know if you have any questions about <br />the new list.<br />
