Just a note to say that I genuinely think we owe the Mods and the other main contributors a Debt of Gratitude for what was a very interesting run-up to the official end result today.

What would be interesting to know is
1 how many new board members it generated.
2: what volume of traffic did it generate.

A very emotive issue but I enjoyed hearing the views from both sides and I thought people were pretty civil which was cool. I echo the OP's views.

Any chance of the next treaty including a clause to ban the use of Random Capitalisation?

+1 to what the OP said. S/He said it better.

Too bad we didn't get the Debate forum thing going again for it, that could have been good.

While the standard of posting has plummetted in the last day (probably just due to increased traffic), before that it was the best on the internet, and indeed, outdid the mainstream media quite often (actually, I think boards was the single best resource out there).

I'd also like to thank everyone who posted there having done there own research into certain areas, like sink scofflaw etc. I hadn't had anywhere near as much time to research it myself, so having trustworthy voices, with both yes and no voters posting them, was an excellent resource to have.
