let me rephrase then...
who is Woody that we should comply with his opinion.
you will hopefully agree that your post quoted (again) above seems to imply only you, not me, or the community in general, does it, now?

but admittedly, my post is somewhat sarcastic, so just to make things totally & perfectly clear...

• i know damn well who Woody is, have been having endless discussion about the sex of angels like arguments long enough on TMO for that, thanks
• (my point) what makes Woody's opinion the rule and law on TMO?

EDIT: having scrolled back on this thread some, i come to realize that what you mean by

is simply that you agree with Woody's statement that this referendum won't change anything else as far as referendums are concerned
and, possibly, that rejecting this referendum may doom MO...

wonder whether it even takes that to achieve this
