Welcome to Tol-in-Gauroth XI 'Fall of the Fall'

[The Saucepan Man]

Eomer. I had hoped that I had explained all this in post #36. You will see that I also agreed with the point that one or two posts of substance are a lot more useful than a whole lot of nothing.

As for unexplained votes, they do as a rule arouse my suspicion. But, as with all such matters, one must examine them on a case-by-case basis. In Formendacil's case, there are certainly extenuating circumstances. Basically, I think that we can take it for red that he had no option but to vote early, at a stage when there was very little information available. So, he voted randomly and made it absolutely clear that this was what he was doing. No attempt to make up spurious reasons for his vote. I took this into account in commenting earlier on his early vote (post #32).

Darn right it has. That was part of what I meant when I said that I was forming some useful impressions. And one such impression involved your reaction to Formendacil's vote, as stated in post #33 and quite forcefully repeated in post #39. You now seem to be backtracking. Any particular reason?
