Does voting really count here?  If so, I thought of a simplification.
Send a message to this list if you care by the 10th.  State your
preference clearly.  We will all see the count.  I would like the list
to stay.  I have three for and one against so far.

I'm pretty sure, however, that we'll get about 10 for and one or two
against.  So a further simplification would be for those against to
just withdraw and we'll keep this low traffic list as is.
