Hoi,
There is one other thing wrong with voting for languages. You are supposed
to vote for a project if you are willing to help with that project.
Consequently I have not voted for nds-nl. For people who vote AGAINST the
setup of a language there is no such barrier. There is nothing in there for
them. It does not have consequences.
There has been a lot of acromony about this language, Mark has moved it out
of the standard request page several times and it still just does not die.
If anything it proves that people want this language and want it badly. I do
not understand what is in there for Mark. I do know that a democracy and
voting where the votes do not carry the same weight is bad.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi,
I'll step in here and try not to cause too much of a fuss.
I just want to notice here that every time this debate comes up, the
only one who voices objections is Mark, the only non-anonymous voter
against the new language Wikipedia. (I may remember this selectively
though.) Of course, the people that most eloquently *support* the
creation probably voted for it too.
Yes, to a certain degree; but how many people asked for its creation
on-list? So far, Servien and Arbeo and perhaps Gerard M. So just as
it's not fair to apply 3 to a full count of voters, I don't think it's
fair to do the same for 1.
Mark
