A simple mental experiment: If we have, say, 2000 readers, and we post
the question
"Will the sun rise tomorrow? We think yes."
Then you invite ridicule upon anyone who says "no".
However, consider this case: you post "Should we move to using MS Word?"
and 5 minutes later some hardy soul posts "No". Over the next few minutes to
hours some hundreds or thousands of list members' mail servers will receieve
these two emails. Many of the human recipients will, in one quick glance, see
two positions staked out - one for MS Word, one against.
With which one does the silent majority agree?
cheers,
