Not like that. I'm saying that a vote for removal from lugnet.* includes
lugnet.cad.*, since lugnet.cad.8 is a part of lugnet.*. Since people can't
vote twice, the percentage of the votes for lugnet.cad + lugnet.* will not
equal greater than 100%. If lugnet.* does not get enough votes (>2/3) to
pass, than the votes for it would carry over to the votes for lugnet.cad.*
and total something less than 100%. Someone voting to remove from lugnet.*
would obviously want that to include lugnet.cad.*, so its only obvious to
total the votes to reach a larger percentage on lugnet.cad.* votes.
So in this matter, both lugnet.* and lugnet.cad.* cannot both pass because
each person can only vote once. Its one or the other. I'm saying that
only in the case of lugnet.* passing will the votes be totaled for the
lugnet.cad.* vote.
Make better sense?
