"Interesting that only contributors to the thread are counted. I suppose the reasoning is that those that simply read the thread are somehow second class citizens, not entitled to a democratic voice? " Not really. If you recall, the last Paul vote resulted in a call to arms on the Intel board. I am guessing that Mani wanted to avoid that again, and that is why his rules for the vote. If it wasn't for that rather blatant attempt to stuff the ballot box by people who don't normally read the group, I doubt if Mani would have taken on this extra burden of work. The whole point of the moderated group was the discussion was getting watered down by flame wars and off topic discussions. There are those that feel that Paul is doing his best to return the group to those halcyon days. While I take a great deal of delight in Paul's posts and responding to them, I can see where these concerns are justified. Pretending that Paul is only being singled out because of his pro-Intel views is disengenious(sp?), at best. Now I am opposed to banning Paul, but I certainly can understand why some people want that...
