My original idea was for a poll, simply in or out but folks didn't want to stick to that so we won't be able to produce the opinion of the RT posters.

It's a shame we can't tap in to the thoughts of the RT lurkers because there's far more of them than there are posters.

Having now settled on a discussion, there's nothing wrong with discussing new points as they crop up or continuing to state one's chosen position, in or out in case someone has been swayed one way or another by the reasoned argument of the RT Literati.
