That mail was a bit stream-of-consciousness, and I had hoped that by the end of it it was clear that I too thought the "anti-second" idea was not actually that great ... oh well, never mind. Sorry for not re-editing it. The bit that was supposed to be the conclusion of that was that it might be good if we had some mechanism for collecting opinions related to mailing-list mails/threads that was private, and didn't involve making (often already long) mailing list threads longer in order to express an opinion, but I think that's going OT so should be discussed elsewhere, probably after setting up a prototype.
