Peter, my intuition would be that nay-sayers would just unsubscribe,
but you've been on the network longer than I have -- so: what has
the experience been?  Do those that vote no stay around to
disparage the yes-voters, or just delete the group from their
'portfolios'?  If the latter, then a high no vote is no 
problem.
