Tony,

Mark doesn't get the choice IIRC, if you create a group you become a 
moderator (read owner) of the list.. I think it's a feature of YHG

If you don't vote and things don't go your way you can't complain... 
that's why mark said it was important for EVERYONE to vote.. If 
everyone takes the time to vote then Mark can react to the majority 
opinion... which I guess is kinda why he asked..

posters no

No, it means you vote, and you vote what you feel so that Mark can 
make an informed decision...

You're righ, it IS Mark's list, but Mark is trying to be fair... He's 
not a despot..

Yes, very true .. and the numbers get higher so does the likelyhood 
of a brush/flame war....

Agreed, a sad but true fact..
