GOD!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

Tony, I think by now we ALL know what you are trying to say.

Mark originally posted asking people to VOTE about the list, not start
a
huge discussion on what should be done about OT posts, so can we PLEASE
stop
this going over and over the same thing.

Thank you

<RANT MODE OFF>

Stuart

Oh god - look have you been following my posts?
I was trying to say that we should not assume everyone wants change
because
a few people complain.

I know for a FACT that there are 652 members of the group - the front
page
for it on Yahoo tells me this.
If I could be arsed, and I really can't, I could go count and prove for
a
FACT that < 50% of these have posted in say the last 6 months.
I'm sure Mark can confirm that he has not had complaining emails from >
326
members.

OH ffs, don't turn this into a pissing contest please or start getting
all
pedantic.

I am not saying I know for a FACT that the majority are happy/unhappy
with
the things the way they are, just that we shouldn't assume anything.

Certainly a number of posters (and posters seem to be in the minority
compared to lurkers) are unhappy and at least some of those have made
their
feelings known - so certainly a vocal minority are unhappy.  It may be
more
than a minority, it may not that's all I'm saying.
