I fail to understand Laird's math.  According to his post, the votes
were: 

The voting tallies for the respective categories were:

comp.unix.esoterica		61
comp.unix.esoterica only	16
comp.unix.internals		61
comp.unix.wizards	       144
comp.unix.wizards only 		19

That makes 144+19= 163 votes for wizards and 16+61=77 against, making
the proposal fail the 100-vote margin by 14 votes.
