In a previous post I had indicated that I was not going to make
public the results of the poll, sending them instead to Steve
privately. I had also come to the decision at that time that I
would post them publicly in the event that there was no consensus
view emerging. This is, I believe, fairest to Steve since the
accusations were made publicly. I couldn't really let on that I
was going to do this as people could easily put two and two
together (i.e. that things went against Steve) if no results were
posted.

The result of the poll was very close to 50-50. Thus I will
conclude that there is no consensus from the group that Steve's
posting practices are abusive.

This is the last you'll hear from me on this.

For Steve;
