I don't believe it is the 'majority view'.  OT it may have been, but 
anyone who really wants to make a difference, really should make use 
of whatever resources you know about, and this list is one such 
resource.  Personally, I commend you for both standing for the 
office, and for asking the question in a manner that indicated to me 
that you really were looking for a sensible 'consensus' opinion to 
adopt.
