People with no connection or opinion should not be voting at all. But if
they do, they consider themselves to be interested and knowledgeable
enough to form an opinion (at least I sincerely hope that's how it works
since we presumably all are responsible adults here). Influencing
opinions of others is the essence of the discussion - if not influencing
others, why would we write to the list and discuss things? We could just
silently vote and be done. Asking people to consider certain arguments
and trying to influence their decisions is what discussions are for,
it's their sole purpose. And what better place to do public discussion
than the public list?
