    In a runoff, you do not have to vote for the same choice you did in the initial voting. All those who voted for any of the choices that were not in the top 3 could still vote in the runoff.

    Second, I do not consider any language origin or translation of a word to be of any consequence of what I liked. As far as I am concerned, Toledo is a city in Ohio and has no other meaning to me. I considered sleepy little US city names to be most boring as a choice for a codename. After all the moaning and criticizing of MS about not promoting VFP, I would have thought the VFP community would have seized this opportunity given us to come up with aquite flashy and unique codename to promote the development of next version of VFP.

    DOes the name Toledo excite you? Maybe its Spanish meening does, but I have no idea what that meaning is, if a any.

    BTW, Zorro to me has a negative connotation because of the movie remakes done here in the US. Ever heard of George Hamilton? He played Zorro in a spoof of the original movies. A spoof means to make fun of previous Zorro movies. So, to me Zorro left a bad image in my mind. It had nothing to do with its linguistic origin or meaning.

    I also did not move any votes from one choice to another except where someone specifically requested because they had a problem with there votes getting over-ridden by more than 1 persons editing the Wiki document at the same time.
