The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these
words:

Something is wrong somewhere.
I sent an ordinary e-mail to ask for voting papers 2 days ago. The
letrter
seems to have gone, but I have not heard anything since.

And why do I still see nothing about a CFV in either
uk.net.news.config,
nor
in uk.net.news.announce?

I suspect your ISP...

I suspect confusion at the network configuration end.

I would definitely suspect your ISP's news server. You might find NIN,
the free German server, useful. See http://news.individual.net

I also still have the destructions to sign up to the free news server I
am currently using

I complained and repeated my request for voting papers.
I received them within half an hour.
I filled them in and sent them off. (If you are curious, I voted NO)
I received no acknowledgement of receipt of the voting papers.
Instead, I received another set of voting papers after 12 hours.
Do I fill in the second lot, thereby possibly spoiling my vote by
attempting
to vote twice?

The proper course of action is to email the votetaker on the specific
address given - - which was in the CFV and I
have separately noted in u.r.g

As I said in the other thread, votes are checked manually and are not on
the end of an autoresponder & the votetaker will acknowledge a vote
within 5 days as the CFV states. As it happens, I shall be checking
votes again in a short while so you can expect email.

FWIW, if the Ballot ID is identical on both the original from the UKV
server and my email to yourself then you would not spoil your vote, the
later vote would merely supersede the earlier vote. One of the reasons
for issuing Ballot IDs is that you can use the same ID to change your
vote. If the IDs are different then voting again would spoil your vote.

Many thanks.Pedt.
