This place has the best spats of all. Remember Lisa and I, we had some good spats, now we are buddies. techstocks.com This could happen with these two as well...

"Don't you think if SI had wanted a poll they would have done one, sans CK's self-serving commentary?" i don't think the thrust here was to do something for SI that they wanted to do. in fact that is part of what is so frustrating and annoying about how they have handled this "roll out". it's the clearest example of take it or leave it that i've witnessed in a long time. and i see their willingness to tweak colors and move a few things around on a page as throw the dog a bone appeasement. the petition thread is an opportunity for SI members to go on record. many of us just can't imagine SI going forward without paying attention to the votes to keep the classic version. and even if we can imagine them ignoring the majority, the act of going on record is still appealing, in more ways than one. :) mark

I think that hits the nail right on the thumb. 1) SI did a poll, didn't like the numbers, quietly suppressed it. 2) Had SI done a poll and gotten "massive support" the poll would have been published. There is no finer way these days to gain the moral high ground than have a supportive poll. 3) SI didn't do a poll - no point; the decision was in place. 4) I am a long-time user and I was never polled by SI admin. No matter how you slice it, it comes up "conflict between the user community's and the mgmt's goals". Jmo Minor grub
