After seeing yet another $XXX.XX on c.s.n.announce the other night, rather than yell or reboot my cube, I posted a call for people willing to vote to send me mail so that I can make a credible call for a vote on this single issue: Leaving prices in, instead of emasculating all those sexy product announcments :-) So far, 10 people have said they want prices, and a vote, 1 wants no prices, one just wants to be able to vote on the matter. Also, ye excellent moderator, todd@liveware.com sent me a message asking me to retract my request for a vote. Todd, who does great service to us people by moderating C.s.n.a states that I am interfering with his efforts to clarify the issue by his "questionnaire". He also points out that I am not a moderator of "the groups". As I said previously, todd does great work. However I think that, on this one issue, he is wrong: People want prices. I think that if told sufficiently often, very politely, by many people, he will come around to respecting the majority opinion. Such majority opinion can only be determined by a vote, and I, and 10 others, want one. As to the fact that I am not moderator of "the groups": csnm is un-moderated, the archetypal electronic anarchy, and I believe that anyone who stays polite and does not oveload the available bandwith is entitled to make his opinions heard. So, I wish ppeople to continue sending me (eronald@cnam.cnam.fr) and todd ( todd@liveware.com) their views on a vote about prices on c.s.n.a, and I request that todd take his views on the matter of a vote on this issue to public debate right here on csnm. Thank you for your patience with this huge post! Edmund. --Copenhagen graffito: If voting helped, they'd make it illegal --
