Agreed.  That sublists focus the discussion is
inexorably true.  My concern, however, is that the
discussion is focussed and polarized amongst those who
are most interested in one side of an issue or
another.  Sublists hamper the participation of new or
more casually interested members, the people who are
most likely to provide conciliatory or compromising
opinions (the ones that help to foster consensus).

On the contrary, Roeland.  I applaud any effort made
toward the benefit and furtherance of the GA.  I just
want to make sure that any credence given such a poll
is proportional to the participation of ALL GA
members, including "rookies," who may not yet know the
"lay of the land" of this organization.

Sincerely,
Jason Graff
