I wouldn't give up yet. The idea is that you ask to think what people think and if, as in this case, a number of people object you ask for a vote. Any subscriber can send you his or her vote. Wait for some time (a week or two is probably sufficient on a mailing list) and see if these seven people speak for the majority of the subscribers. If you give up now you are letting these seven people decide for all 250 subscribers. Most may not care or actually be in favor of the idea.
