That's certainly fair and I had begun that email by trying to come up
with a way to represent everyone's positions fairly but, frankly, after
an hour of reading through the thread and noting the various changes in
positions, I got to the point where I felt...

We really need a response on this part if we're going to actually make
any progress.

If we'd actually like to do a formal condorcet-style vote (or something
