This too is pretty murky.  However, the way the moderator is doing
this is the quick way.  It is also as offical as it gets since he
is the moderator.

I think I was the first one to ask the "should shareware ..." question
this time.  I was put off by the implied guilt trip solicitation.
After some neanderthals used the question to inject their own bigoted
agenda, I reconsidered my position.

I voted for the proposal.
