Well, you didn't vote again in my follow up email, so I thought you
didn't care anymore, and Thomas didn't reply to my email either. I am
clearly concerned, as you are, but Thomas isn't, and no one else seems
to care.

Can two guys override another guy if he is doing the work? I usually
like to have a larger margin than that. I don't know what to do.
