Read what I said again (particularly taking note of the smiley) and
you might notice that it was a joke.

Did you really think I was suggesting we should vote on what voting
procedure to use? And perhaps first vote on what voting procedure to
use for the voting procedure vote? And perhaps, before even that, we
should vote on what voting procedure to use for the voting procedure
voting procedure vote? And perhaps, before that...  ;-)

If my joke said anything about the vote, it was suggesting we don't
need to make quite so much fuss over it - which seems to be your point
too.
