Jon and all,

I understand the point, but the problem with a straw poll is that once a
consensus is apparent, other posters (I'm thinking of James Seng's valuable
posting) may not exactly be encouraged to post contrary opinions.
This is what an anonymous poll is for.

However, the results so far indicate that you are right.

May I remind all that the poll is still open and that your vote is sought.
