Re: Reminder: Poll about restructuring options

 It is very unlikely that there is any language on this
 planet  that would equate ""No, I do not wish to state an
 opinion" with  "I wish to state an opinion but you have no
 provided a category  that covers my opinion".
 What about English?

 If I ask you "do you prefer A or B", and you say "I don't
 wish to say whether I prefer A or B, because you have not
 provided a category that covers my opinion", in what way have
 you said something where "I do not wish to state an opinion"
 is an inappropriate description?

Let's keep this simple:  saying "i wish to state an opinion" is 
not the same as saying "i do not wish to state an opinion".

It is impressive that you confuse the difference between 
affirmatively embracing an absent alternative with a passive 
refusal to embrace the alternatives presented. 

More simply: Abstaining is not the same as rejecting.


But perhaps that explains how you are able to report such 
positive feedback from the plenaries.


As for your insistence on claiming to know my motives, you again 
missed the point: they don't matter.  

What matters is an attempt to use a biased survey and a biased 
sampling and then claim that the results are somehow meaningful.
