All the same pretty close for a poll. I was a last minute convert to the "no" camp on this and it would only have taken me and one other to tip the result the other way!

Well, when we need money some day the idea is there, and it will be reality. Because sooner or later, everybody needs money.

This is true, and I'm glad we looked into it, because I do prefer this to some of the other options that have been talked about. Thanks for suggesting it. If nothing else maybe Sally will get a few hits on her Amazon link now.

Its interesting that the 'against' option was ahead for a long time, those who initially came to vote went slightly against. Then the two options closed slowly together, with a definite trend later on towards 'for'.

I suspect (although of course I cannot prove) that of those who followed the debate closely and voted early on as a result, there was a slight trend against. And for those who came in later and perhaps didn't follow the initial discussion, there was a slight trend 'for'. And that makes sense to me; the initial response to 'do you want a site you use to get free money to do more of what it does' is likely to be 'yes'. The response when listening to differing points of view talking about why it may not be quite that simple won't always be the same.
