Considering the enormous amount of on and off topic discussion, not many
votes in total.

I am not sure the proposer has posted here yet on allotments (or anything
else) but can't be bothered to Google at the moment. :-)

A resounding vote for "If it ain't broke don't fix it".

Strangely, I just looked through the YES votes and couldn't find the
proposer.

Does the proposer automatically count as a YES, is (s)he disbarred from
voting, or did
"Proponent : Gary Poston gary (at) torbay.eclipse.co.uk"
not even bother to vote?

If so, why waste everyone elses time?
