So you did Gayle.

With all the drifting off topic and concentration on just one point I had forgotten all about your contribution.

However as I understand it, entwisi’s original intention wasn’t to have a debate but for members to post their own manifesto and then arrange a vote. Much like happens in real life.

Again, rather naïvely, I assumed that a new voting thread would be generated where people could discuss the pros and cons of each manifesto before casting their vote.

I guess that entwisi’s idea was just a pipe dream that had no real hope of being treated seriously, except by maybe one or two.
