[Waltzing]

Should say that after the voting EXPERIENCE yesterday evening and those behind us in the small Q think everyone got an SV listing.....

Joked that oh well we could maybe come back later when the system was fixed.

The operator of the Phone indicated that there were some problems ... honestly the poor man was standing there alone to guard against the forces of the "GHOST in the SHELL"   ...  im sure the poor fellow was as perplexed as the punts lined up to vote ... or out to tick something on the colored piece of parchment ...

If you have ever experienced a HD CPT then you are really lucky ... remember sitting programming on a 286 upgraded to a 386 IBM PC original... and hearing the sound of the Western D CPT crash... its a sound you really dont want to here when you havnt run your backups to TAPE!

The person who brought up corruption was yourself. The original post by Waltzing referred to a corrupted system.  Systems can be corrupted hence the phraseology is correct.

Waltzing:
It was yourself that changed the meaning to 'corruption':
and Waltzing confirmed this in his subsequent post:
If you want to argue the point go for it, but maybe take your own advice and take a deep breath given you will be arguing against yourself.  Given my previous programming interactions with Waltzing I could see what he intended and it was yourself who changed the definition of a corrupted system to corruption involving dishonesty.  He shouldn't have to argue or defend against a position he did not assert based on your misunderstanding.

In that case, I apologise as I had misconstrued Waltz comment.  I assumed "...the GOVT has been negligent..." was then elaborated on by his following sentence, "The voting system in the country can only be described as almost corrupt." This not being the case, mea culpa. 

[Waltzing]

just shows how easy it is to post comments  that are not clear.

the smooth functioning of the NZ voting system does not look to have been achieved by the commission.

All good HP and no worries.  So often (online) disagreements arise when people talk at cross purposes.  IMO better to understand than have pointless debates which achieve nothing positive.  But as Waltzing says, maybe we all need to be clearer in our posts.

I think we are all in agreement the processes could have been better and may benefit from a review of sorts.  But I am relying on the anecdotes of others given my own experience was a purely mandraulic mistake.  And I certainly do not suspect any malicious intent.

Thanks also for introducing me to Hanlon's razor....I have said to those espousing conspiracy theories: 'don't ascribe to conspiracy that which can be explained by incompetence' without knowing Hanlon's razor existed in a very similar form: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".  Nice.

Waltzing: you mentioned something about being clear with your posts and then this happened:

I have no idea what you are referring to here given your love of the cryptic...

Three weeks to count the special votes? What a joke! No fully functioning government for all that time! It really needs sorting out.

[Hectorplains]

Ah - Ah - Ah...

Amazing though how we are able to keep life moving on. A very good clue that a lot of government is unnecessary.
