In this case, they felt the only way to even be heard was to get discussion going on this list, of which they were successful. Again, if you don't agree with the stance, then voice your opinions. To me this was a simple grass roots effort to make their voice
heard. Feels like people just want to beat that to death rather than focusing on the actual issue.<span id="ms-outlook-android-cursor"></span><br>

It is a public list, but such a display of manufactured "support"<br>
appears to be an attempt to manipulate policy in a way that is not for<br>
the benefit of the community it's supposed to serve. Often when someone<br>
wants a policy to happen so badly that they're willing to try to tip the<br>
scales in their favor by any means necessary, it usually means it's not<br>
good for the rest of us.<br>
