Here is an extract from a reply I got from a person at www.embedded.com

These Ada 95 mailing lists were also promoting the www.embedded.com
  vote too (Mr Feldman was promoting the vote):
   [log in to unmask],
   [log in to unmask], and
   [log in to unmask]

It would be interesting, to have the vote restarts, and this time
  make sure that about 4 C language mailing lists were informed. I want
  to know if embedded C language programmers can coordinate a response
  to appeals to vote for their language (or select the language they
  use rather than the programming language they might want to use).
