This is what makes the decision complicated: We really can't tell how many new people will drift into OMNI and stick around where in past years they might have been repelled by the political and religious threads. If you ask only the people who frequented OMNI when it was all together, your sample is incomplete and the answer may therefore be incorrect.

In the end, this is a judgment call, a guess of how things will eventually work out. No poll that can answer this question. Randy's judgment might be wrong, but usually it's right. We'll find out over time based on whether total OMNI traffic continues to grow consistently with the rest of FT.
