Re: ESP revisions straw poll
Steve,
I'm sure you were against using private "votes" for the very obvious reason
that the holder of the straw poll can always ensure his personal viewpoint
prevails. Whether there is precedence or not, this is bad-- unless of course
we can all include the private discussions we've had in your final tally.
