A "guaranteed -1" in _what context_?  Maybe he was just saying, in
effect, that if you held your own vote on your own list, he would 
have to vote -1 because his own alternative was not even listed
(and, note, without even saying that he would have voted for his 
own alternative).

I have no idea if that's what he meant, and I haven't even been
reading this thread, but I'm just pointing out one of the probably
several areas where the meaning is open to interpretation and
the interpretation is affected by things like a "presumption of
goodwill" (which, by the way, I have about both you and Aahz, so
please just let it go :-).
