And is the fact that they voted at all considered part of the public
record?  Not that I can imagine them complaining in this case, but was
thought given to setting a precedent?  Given the concern over Brad
Templeton's second vote, I can imagine the result if you reported, for
instance, that J. Random Nominee's infant offspring submitted a Hugo
ballot.

Incidentally, I still prefer the version that says Charlie abstained
because of a premonition he'd have to share the stage with Andy.
