Nope. But then I'm not telling anyone else what to do.

Plenty of people. All were positive, so I went ahead. Not everyone has
the time or inclination to do advocacy work.

We can't take a vote on anything until there's some sort of structure
in place to organise the voting - that's exactly what we're trying to
do with the linuxaudio.org management board.

one member one vote basis.

That no-one else could spare the time, probably.

My definition of trolling would be persistent, unfair and unhelpful
criticism. I'm all favour of positive criticism - I'd settle for
neutral criticism. Please give us a break until after the launch at
least.
