The many messages which read simply "I vote for/against a split" are a
waste of time and resources.  Whether some like it or not, we are in a
"Call For Discussion" phase of this activity, and these messages are
not and do not promote _discussion_.  When it is time to vote, it is done
via mail, and not with one-liners posted to the net.  If participants
wish to air their potential vote at this time, it should be in the context
of discussion.  State your reasons!  Either way you intend to vote!
  
OK, I'm off my soapbox now.  Thanks!
