What you see is that without the effort to influence, roughly 54% of the population are OK or great with it. Considering that you would need to ratch up the policking to get to the 2/3 majority to come up with a stronger argument, why not really just let it lie because even in the most popular forum you can see that the issue is hardly top-of-mind for those who use the forum the most.
I'm confused by something, Randy. Since when are you for looking at the number of users who support a particular policy as an indication of what should be done? In this thread (
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showp...&postcount=121) you explicitly reject the idea that 50 people can accurately reflect the will of the OMNI population when it comes to opening it up to Google. Yet here you seem willing to take a far smaller percentage of the population as an indication of what members prefer.
Why the discrepancy?
