In comparing >Bruce's method to your implementation of Young's procedure... Well, it's news to me that there's much of a connection between the procedure I have outlined and Borda's method or Young's, except for the fact that they are all intended to resolve a similar problem. That is why no explicit reference was made to them. Nor is there much in common between Borda's method and Young's method, as I see it. The manipulations involved appear to be completely different in the three cases. Perhaps Fred will explain this point further. George.
