Re: [ga] . ORG Straw Poll

["William X. Walsh" <william@userfriendly.com>]

Hello Joop,

I'd much rather see the postings made to the list about their
opinions, since those are on the record and have their names attached
to them, which is important for validation.

That said, I'm not opposing it just because this is you doing it on
your booth.  I simply think that the most important thing is to show
something on the record where those participating and expressing an
opinion can be properly identified, counted, and authenticated.

The overwhelming sense of these posts to the lists makes it clear I
was correct in my analysis.
