Forgive the top post. I'm working off a mobile device that doesn't allow it any other way.
Sigh.... How many and how long we will have to make exceptions?
Until you run a poll and figure out how many exceptions are allowed, I suppose.
I bag your pardon for "misunderstanding" Sachin's mail. Indeed, I am a bit weak in use of English language. :-(
Congratulations! on bagging my pardon (I didn't know it was up for grabs ;) Though you still don't seem to get it.
Considering that you think this "exercise" a juvenile, can I "assume" that you have not voted in the poll?
No. I haven't. I'm not part of that very exclusive club of 25 (yes, I checked) that did. If you were to publish the results of a poll honestly, you would have mentioned that fact in the original post about the results.
If you didn't, you have lost your right to pass any judgment on the "exercise". If you think there were not enough options, you never asked.
My choosing not to vote was my way (and that of the vast majority by the numbers) of subtly hinting to you that the poll is a juvenile exercise. Since you didn't take that hint, it has now been made more explicit.
How do you know other list members' opinion? Have you asked each member individually? Did you conduct an opinion poll? Did you do a survey of all/most members of the list?
Refer to the above statement.
Let me repeat myself, we can only go by the opinion of the people who BOTHERED TO VOTE. This is HOW democracy works.
Choosing not to participate in a given poll is an expression of opinion (another hint.)
