[ale] New Mailing List ... the thread that wouldn't die

[Jeff Lightner]

[Expletive deleted.] I did say it was an informal survey.  There was no
"leading" involved.  These were impromptu questions I posed based on the
discussion here.

It is fine to be against splitting the list (perhaps you missed that I
am on record as being against the splitting) or for splitting it but
quite another to infer nefarious motives of anyone that you think isn't
in your camp.

Only if you consider "leading" the pollees with only one proffered
reason to choose from a way to get unbiased information.
