[Expletive deleted.] I did say it was an informal survey.  There was no
"leading" involved.  These were impromptu questions I posed based on the

It is fine to be against splitting the list (perhaps you missed that I
am on record as being against the splitting) or for splitting it but
quite another to infer nefarious motives of anyone that you think isn't
in your camp.
