My (yes) vote too - but I seriously suggest that voting starts on an
official date, with an official question.
If the list admin(s) approve, I would recommend that he put the official
question(s) to the list, with proper instructions and an explanation of the
voting methodology.
We would then be bound to the results of the vote, with further discussion
becoming irrelevant to the resulting action of the list.
What say you, Kind List admin(s?)?
