Oh, you mean someone who disagrees with you?

But it's pretty much the same as mine, and Ketsy's and this How is Real
chap's.

Except of course that David and I had already voted on school deletions
before Tuesday.

So you've got people who have been at it for some time who aren't mindless
robotic posters, and you've got people who only responded robotically to
robotic deletion listings.

This doesn't quite square the circle.

I have even (shock horror!) voted delete in rather a lot of school
deletion listings in the past.  I change my mind over time.  Who knows,
maybe next month I'll change my mind again and be a school deletionist.

Isn't that a bugger.
