OK, here are my observations so far:

1. Most people don't give a **** about these issues. I have to believe that hundreds of people have posted to FT over the past few days, but only 36 have people have commented in this and other related threads. Compare that amount with the number of people that have posted to the 500,000th post thread.

2. So far, without a doubt, the vast majority of people who do care are AGAINST "aggressive" moderation, and the sister issue of high vs. low categorization, or at least are FOR the concept of the Buzz as a broader vs. narrower catch-all.

The "AGAINST" people also seem more emotional about their concerns than the FOR people.

3. To try and quantify the responses I have attempted to tally the results; providing for a somewhat liberal interpretation of voter intent, after allowing for a few hanging chads, I report the following preliminary results:

AGAINST AGGRESSIVE MODERATOR INTERVENTION: 22

FOR AGGRESSIVE MODERATOR INTERVENTION: 9

UNDECIDED OR TOO CLOSE TO CALL: 5

3. Most of the people in the "for" camp are older FT members (in FT membership terms).

That’s how I see it so far.
