Yeah, by ~20 to 1 so far. I'd felt disinclined to contribute to this inane
thread, but seeing a post that does less than dismiss this idiocy out of
hand, prompts me to point out that the challenger (who hides behind a
psuedonym BTW) doesn't point to his list of contributions to the project,
but instead simply bitchs about stuff in which he demonstrates minimal
understanding and declines to propose any solution other than removal of
one of the projects demonstrably productive resources.

What's a phyco? And why should users get to vote on policy? I think
contributors should be the only parties with a right to any input.
