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.

Re: I Have A Dream.
 
It seemed to drift off thread when you accused some members of this forum of being 'amoebas'.;)

n. pl. a·moe·bas also a·me·bas or a·moe·bae also a·me·bae (-bē)
Any of various one-celled aquatic or parasitic protozoans of the genus Amoeba or related genera, having no definite form and consisting of a mass of protoplasm containing one or more nuclei surrounded by a flexible outer membrane. It moves by means of pseudopods.


Are 'pseudopods' the same as wheels?

As Jambutty doesn't want to discuss the relative pros and cons of our manifestos I might as well join in the thread wander.

I think 'pseudo' means something like fake or pretence and a 'pod' is what peas come in so perhaps you find most amoebas in the vegetable patch.:D
