Right you are.  I should have remembered the poll that was taken just last
November (where the "Lemmy" years tied for second place - and *I* actually
voted for the also-second-place-tied "Calvert" years instead).  But if you
go back to the original message in the archives, you'll see that there
actually *were* two or three opinions that (nearly) everyone could agree on
(of course, that's two or three opinions out of say, 100 listmembers times
an "average" of 50 opinions per member making for a total of about 5000
opinions where the other 4997 or 4998 are all disagreed on!).
