No, looking at the votes so far you are absolutely not deadlocked since you might have a winner that is considered acceptable by all 8 members of the TC: The most problematic option for many TC members is not D or S, the most problematic option is T. If Colin joins Ian, Andreas and Steve in voting DT and UT below FD, then T is dead. But DL might beat FD 8:0, and will likely be the overall winner since it is expected to beat UL through the casting vote of the chairman. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
