Pity you did not stick to your original instinct and stay
with Blacksheep. The whole episode is a real mess. Now one has to join Yahoo to
vote then resign afterwards. This already creates a bias in favour of Yahoo
since so many thought there was going to be no alternative.
and moved over.
How about the VOTE taking place on Blacksheep instead,
which is the way it should have been. Let them join/rejoin Blacksheep and resign
afterwards if found necessary.
The whole business was rushed and only now are we seeing
really how the main LF/MF communicators and experimenters feel.
The only person that has been pushing for a Yahoo takeover
for some time has been G3XBM and said he was involved with other Yahoo groups as
moderator. Maybe he had designs on moderating this group and eliminating those
whose opinions he did not like.
I am only quoting what the man himself said in
various email/posting on Blacksheep.
Serious LF/MF experimenters should speak out and make
their point of view known, this is Democracy

Subject: LF: Poll announcement
I've
put up a poll on the Yahoo! Group version to see whether there is a clear view
on the way forward. I thought that there was, but there seem to still be
some with concerns. I personally don't want to have two groups, which
is why I didn't support a move to Yahoo! Groups earlier; I thought from what I
had read on the list that there were lots of people wanting to take advantage
of the Yahoo! Groups offering. Since many of us have had the chance to
try out Yahoo! Groups and it offers polling tool I thought it would be
worthwhile seeing what the preference is for the way forward.
For
those not currently members of the Yahoo! Group list you will of course have
to join in order to vote, but at least this is how you can exercise your right
to vote (and leave afterwards, if you wish).
The
detail of the poll, which I've set to close next Sunday is as
follow:
Enter
your vote today! A new poll has been created for the rsgb_lf_group
group:
Now
that you've had a chance to try the Yahoo! Groups list, how
do you want to continue?
o
With the Yahoo! Groups list o
With the Blacksheep.org list o
Both lists
To
vote, please visit the following web page: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/rsgb_lf_group/surveys?id=13140385
Note:
Please do not reply to this message. Poll votes are not
collected via email. To vote, you must go to the Yahoo! Groups web
site listed above.
Thanks!
