This won’t undo my answer to Ian, but otherwise I’ll be glad to do that. I did not intend this as an attack on you, but rather as saving you from spending two days of what sounded like tedious work on something I had already done for fun.

Gathering and validating votes is the part of the work which would be tedious for me, so I’m happy to be able to avoid it :) > Good night & thanks for the clarifications! Have a nice day!
