Jamie wasn't asking for the creation of another newsgroup.  He wasn't even
asking that s.c.c be moderated.  Just that we vote to stop the debate.  This
is in fact meaningless.  However, if he wishes to start a vote TO CREATE A
NEW NEWSGROUP, I'll vote in favor of it.  Heck, I might even subscribe to
it :-).  On the other hand, a vote that asks that people stop discussing this
issue (or any other) is unfair, and doomed.  Even if he gets the majority he
wants, that's still a long way from enforcing it.
