That's a usual problem. It won't help if 100 people just write "agreed". But it would help if at least a few raise their voice - and possibly add their personal feelings / thoughts as well. That's community-process. Otherwise imho people who don't participate are not allowed to moan afterwards. > At the same time I dont really know how else to work.
