Re: [ga] Proposal: New Cross-constituency mailing list

["Josh Semper" <josh.semper@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone

Can someone explain what percentage of subscribers to this list voted for
this kind of representation? I imagine it is something like a fraction of a
percentage, because most have given up trying to use this as any real forum
for discussion, and instead dont bother to participate.

I could hold an election for the president of the country and could win from
a vote taken from 15 friends, it does not make it any more real.
